Answer to Question 1

C
Adults learn best when the content can be related to their own experiences, so Option c is not a correct assumption about adults as learners.

Answer to Question 2

B
Learning is best facilitated if the learner is motivated to make a change in lifestyle, believes that the information to be learned will be beneficial, believes that it is possible to learn what is needed, has clear and reasonable outcome objectives, has a low to moderate level of stress, has had other immediate needs met, and believes that the changes related to learning will have a positive influence on his or her life.

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.
