Answer to Question 1

Answer: A, B, C, E
The physical component is the ability to carry out daily tasks, achieve fitness, and generally practice positive lifestyle habits. The environmental component includes influences such as food, water, and air. The emotional component is the ability to manage stress and to express emotions appropriately. Finances are not one of the seven components of health. The spiritual component is the belief in some force (nature, science, religion, or a higher power) that serves to unite human beings and provide meaning and purpose to life.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

Blunt percussion in a frail older individual is contraindicated. Instead, palpation of the costovertebral angles and flanks can be used to reveal any pain or tenderness. All other assessments are appropriate.

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.
