Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Teaching the mother to ensure fluid intake is important because fever can cause dehydration. The child should be dressed lightly. There is no need to call the doctor unless the child's fever lasts more than 3 to 5 days or the fever is greater than 105F. A rapid rise to a high fever can cause a febrile convulsion, but it does not lead to brain damage.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Most pregnancy-related complications are preventable. The leading causes of pregnancy-related mortality are hemorrhage, infection, preeclampsia-eclampsia, obstructed labor, and unsafe abortion. Embolism is not a leading cause.

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.
