Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Sleep quality is influenced by drugs. Drugs that decrease sleep include diuretics, steroids, and antidepressants. Ambien and chloral hydrate appear to influence the quality of sleep least and promote normal sleep.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Despite individual variations, growing children, especially adolescents who are in a tremendous growth period, require from 10 to 14 hours of sleep per night. This is in comparison with the accepted standard for adults, which is 8 hours. Older adults often require less sleep.

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.
