Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
For people on hemodialysis, fluid allowance is 1000 mL plus the volume of any urine produced. There are various strategies that can help relieve thirst, such as rinsing the mouth with ice cold water without swallowing, chewing gum, sucking on hard candy, and use ice or popsicles within the fluid allowance.

Answer to Question 2

C
Aspartame contains phenylalanine and so it should not be consumed by individuals who have phenylketonuria. There is no evidence that moderate intake of aspartame is harmful for infants and school-age children, although there may be no reason for them to consume it. Some individ-uals report that they get headaches after they consume aspartame, not everyone who gets mi-graines should avoid aspartame. Use of food sweetened with aspartame rather than sugar will provide fewer kcals and so will not help individuals gain weight, but this does not mean that for underweight people to avoid aspartame.

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.
