Answer to Question 1

D
Among street users, heroin is the opioid of choice. It is easy to procure and is taken by about 90 of opioid abusers.
Oxycodone, morphine sulfate, and hydromorphone are not the drugs of choice for street users of opioid drugs.

Answer to Question 2

A
The passive immunity of the hepatitis B immune globulin protects the body immediately.
The immune system responds to the antibodies immediately. It does not take several months for a response to develop.
Immune globulin is passive, not active, immunity.
The passive immunity protects the body immediately but persists only as long as the antibodies remain in the body.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).

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.
