Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

All of these options are ethical dilemmas faced by healthcare providers, but the major argument is whether health care is a right or a privilege. The other options reflect this basic argument.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

Although financial aid packages can be written in many ways, the most common meaning of forgiveness is that the recipient will not have to pay a portion (or sometimes all) of the money back if the recipient works in a specific location or specialty for a period of time after graduation. In most cases, financial aid packages change (and may be invalid or have to be repaid) when majors change or when grades are not satisfactory. In either case, the money owed is not forgiven. Although the student may continue to receive aid of some sort while seeking advanced degrees, there is a limit to federal aid that cannot be exceeded; and simply seeking advanced degrees does not mean that money owed does not have to be repaid.

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.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
