Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Collaboration promotes the development of plans and a directory of emergency responses. How to use algorithms is a key type of information that is shared. Blaming others is not part of collab-oration. Determining what shelters will be used and by whom is not the priority for collaboration. How political action will be necessary to ensure public health is not a priority for collaboration.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
In the active system, a PHN begins to search for cases through contacts in the community. The nurse names the disease and gathers data about existing cases to try to determine the magnitude of the problem. In the passive system, case reports are sent to local health departments by health care providers. In the sentinel system, trends in commonly occurring diseases or key health indi-cators are monitored. Special systems are developed for collecting particular types of data and may be a combination of active, passive, and/or sentinel systems.

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.
