During surgery, a sponge is accidentally left inside the plaintiff. Only through a second surgery to
  remove the sponge does the pain and suffering that the plaintiff experiences end. Yet during the trial,
  not one of the six people in the original surgical team admitted to leaving the sponge. For that reason,
  the defendant, a hospital that employed the surgical team, requests for a judgment in its favor because
  the plaintiff could not establish who among the surgical team actually left the sponge inside of the
  plaintiff. Plaintiff will most likely succeed by asking the court not to grant that request because of
 
  A) an unavoidable accident B) the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur
  C) negligence per se D) an Act of God

Question 2

In a state that does not require employers to carry worker's compensation insurance, an accident
  happens. At a construction site, a worker slips on ice that has accumulated on a plank that workers
  have used to get from one floor to another. The worker sues the employer for negligence and will win
  unless the employer argues that
 
  A) the worker can recover only if there is negligence per se
  B) the employee has failed to make out a prima facie case
  C) this was not willful, wanton or reckless conduct
  D) the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur applies

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.
