Answer to Question 1

B
Questions that can be used to help with the focus of a P-F-A (purpose-focus-approach) Internet research search include: 1) broad and general (basic information), 2) lay-oriented (to give information to a patient) or professionally orientated (for colleagues), and 3) narrow and technical with a research orientation (Nicoll, 2003). Questions that pertain to the purpose aspects of a P-F-A search are as follows: 1) Are you preparing information to give to patients or families? 2) Is it for personal interest? 3) Do you want to obtain information to share with coworkers or a client? 4) Are you verifying information given to you by someone else?

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.
