Answer to Question 1

C
The pancreas acts as an endocrine gland, secreting insulin directly into the bloodstream, and an exocrine gland, secreting digestive enzymes through ducts.

Answer to Question 2

D
Helping patients identify and face depression is helpful in dispelling it, and talking about her concerns will open up conversation and address the concerns in a problem-solving approach. Telling her that she will be able to resume all activities may be instilling false hope. Medication is not warranted at this point.

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.
