Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Hemoglobin is lower in a 3 month old than that of an adult of the same sex. It is normally higher at birth but quickly begins to decrease so that by 3 months old this would be a normal hemoglobin (abnormal at birth). It is lower than that of both a 14 year old and an adult of the same sex.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
An absolute increase in neutrophils occurs within hours of birth; this elevates the white count. Bands and occasionally myelocytes may also be present. At day 2, the count begins to drop progressively, primarily because of an absolute decrease in neutrophils.

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.
