Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
A venous access device is implanted subcutaneously for continuous or intermittent injections. A tunnel is created from the point at which the catheter enters the vessel, cavity, or space to a subcutaneous pocket. The pocket is made wherever necessary to stabilize the port.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Factors that determine the ability of tumor cells to respond to chemotherapy include size, location of the tumor, type of tumor, whether lymph nodes are involved, condition of the patient, combinations of adjuvant therapy, biochemical requirements of the tumor, and life cycle of the cancer cells and whether it is curative.

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.
