Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
For example, the NTE temperature for newborns weighing less than 1200 g is 35 C.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Given the highly variable O2 concentration provided by these devices, the best way to control O2 delivery to infants in an incubator is with an Oxy-Hood. The Oxy-Hood is placed over the in-fant's head inside the incubator. The O2 concentration and gas temperature within the Oxy-Hood, not in the incubator, must be assessed. It is ideal to monitor incubator or Oxy-Hood O2 concentration continuously.

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.
