Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

A high-protein, high-kilocalorie diet provides the necessary nutrients to meet metabolic and tissue healing needs. The meal with the most calories is the spaghetti and meat sauce, vanilla milkshake made with Ensure, and pecan pie. The other meals have fewer calories.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

Radioallergosorbent test is a blood test that measures the amount of IgE directed toward specific allergens. Test results are compared with control values and used to identify hypersensitivities. This test may also be used instead of skin testing if a severe allergic response is suspected. White blood cell count and differential, blood type and crossmatch, and immune complex assay tests are not used instead of skin testing if a severe allergic response is suspected.

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.
