Answer to Question 1

In addition to well-balanced meals and good medical care, designs should include
attention to physical well-being, physical concerns such as handrails, tacked down
carpeting, good lighting, and so forth. Equally important is an emphasis on privacy
and the maintenance of residents' cognitive and psychosocial skills, which can be
helped by encouraging residents to actively participate in their own care.

Answer to Question 2

The disengagement theory views aging as a voluntary progressive social
withdrawal. As adults age, they engage in less social interaction including interaction
with co-workers and adult children, preferring to avoid the bustles of life as they slow
down. The quality of life suffers as the elder becomes more passive. In contrast,
activity theory asserts that withdrawal is involuntary and that elders want and need
activity and social interaction. Rather than becoming passive, they desire to remain
active with family, friends, and the community. The quality of life either maintains or
improves with activity; research indicates that the more roles active elders have, the
greater their satisfaction and life quality.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).

Hippocrates noted that blood separates into four differently colored liquids when removed from the body and examined: a pure red liquid mixed with white liquid material with a yellow-colored froth at the top and a black substance that settles underneath; he named these the four humors (for blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile).
