Answer to Question 2

Prototyping, Computer-Aided Software Engineering tools, joint application design, rapid application development, Participatory Design, and Agile Methodologies are the six approaches mentioned in the textbook. Prototyping is an iterative process of systems development by which requirements are converted to a working system. The prototype is continually revised through close work between an analyst and users. The analyst builds the prototype from requirements supplied by the end users. Once the prototype is completed, it is evaluated by the end users. Based on the feedback provided by the end users, the analyst will modify the prototype. This results in an iterative process that continues until users are satisfied. Computer-aided software engineering (CASE) tools provide automated support for some part of the systems development process. Joint application design (JAD) is a structured process in which users, managers, and analysts work together for several days in a series of intensive meetings to specify or review system requirements. By promoting group participation, time and organizational resources are better managed. Also, the group is more likely to develop a shared understanding of the IS purpose. Rapid application development (RAD) is a systems development methodology created to radically decrease the time needed to design and implement information systems. Participatory Design is a systems development approach that originated in northern Europe, in which users and the improvement in their work lives are the central focus. Agile Methodologies focus on adaptive methodologies, people instead of roles, and an overall self-adaptive development process.

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.

A serious new warning has been established for pregnant women against taking ACE inhibitors during pregnancy. In the study, the risk of major birth defects in children whose mothers took ACE inhibitors during the first trimester was nearly three times higher than in children whose mothers didn't take ACE inhibitors. Physicians can prescribe alternative medications for pregnant women who have symptoms of high blood pressure.
