Answer to Question 1

C
The belief that rape should not be discussed contributes to the family's withdrawal and lack of support. Believing this myth allows the family to attribute blame to the victim. The other statements are facts, rather than myths, about rape and if understood by the family would prompt support.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D, E
Medications such as fluphenazine decanoate and haloperidol decanoate are long-acting forms of antipsychotic medication given by injection every 2 to 4 weeks, thus reducing the need for daily medications and struggles that may accompany these. The long-acting injections ensure that the patient maintains a therapeutic drug level, something unlikely when oral medications are taken intermittently. Discussing and addressing the patient's concerns about side effects (some of which can be extremely distressing) conveys interest in the patient and involves him in his treatment, and reducing side effects reduces resistance to the medication. Tying the medication to increasing the chance that the patient will meet his goals provides patient-centered motivation to take the medication (rather than taking it only at the behest of others). Adding a benzodiazepine would reduce anxiety, but that is not the likely cause of this patient's nonadherence. Telling the patient he will get sick without the medication is unlikely to help, because he does not believe he has an illness (anosognosia).

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.
