Answer to Question 1

AP oblique with medial rotation

Rationale: AP oblique with 30-40 degree medial rotation demonstrates near even separation between the metatarsals. The base of the 5th metatarsal is visualized well along with the space around the cuboid.

Answer to Question 2

increase 5-7 kVp

Rationale: Fiberglass casts may take no to very little increase in kVp. Plaster casts will require a 5-7 increase in kVp. Large plaster casts may take 8-10 increase in kVp.

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.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water.
