Answer to Question 1

1, 3, 5, 6
Atelectasis, pneumonia, pulmonary fibrosis, and pulmonary infarction cause decreased fremitus. Pneumothorax and emphysema would cause increased fremitus.

Answer to Question 2

3
Stable angina is precipitated by factors that increase oxygen demand or reduce oxygen supply. Chest pain occurs predictably with the same onset, duration, and intensity and is relieved when the precipitating factor is removed or with nitroglycerin. Unstable angina is typified by an increase in frequency, duration, and intensity of symptoms at lower levels of activity and even at rest. Prinzmetal's variant angina is a coronary artery spasm. Silent angina can occur with no pain at all and is common in diabetic patients.

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.
