Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

Holistic health is a concept that evolved in the 1970s and 1980s and is defined as a comprehensive approach to health care including physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual attributes of a person. Nursing with a purpose is a goal of delivering nursing care but is not a philosophy of health care. A complete physical health assessment is often performed on patients at an initial health evaluation. Contemporary alternative medicine (CAM) is use of unconventional medicine or healing therapies.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2, 4, 5

Social determinants of health include a wide range of factors such as income, employment and working conditions, housing, education, nutrition, social support, social exclusion, stress, and violence. Social determinants of health are believed to explain both the causation of ill health in individuals and the social distribution or patterns of ill health. Age and gender at birth are considered biological determinants of health.

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.
