Answer to Question 1

Ans:
A

Feedback:

Viral and bacterial pneumonia are known sequelae of influenza. Antiviral drugs do exist for the flu, and the efficacy of staying warm and increasing fluid consumption have been demonstrated. The flu vaccine is recommended for higher risk individuals, and guidelines do not indicate the need for all individuals to be vaccinated.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
B

Feedback:

Deoxygenated blood leaves the right heart through the pulmonary artery. Return of oxygenated blood to the heart occurs by way of the pulmonary vein, which empties into the left atrium.
