Answer to Question 1

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: A procedure is a series of steps that must be followed to arrive at a decision, each of the steps being clear and straightforward. A policy provides guidelines rather than steps for the decision maker to follow. Each guideline must be interpreted and evaluated for the situation at hand. Therefore, a policy requires much more judgment and interpretation than a procedure.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: A highway speed limit is an example of a rule, not a policy. Policies require the decision maker to exercise judgment and interpretation. Following a speed limit, on the other hand, involves no interpretation. The driver simply must not exceed the posted speed.

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.
