Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The peritoneum is the thin, two-layer serous membrane that lines the interior of the abdominal cavity.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: F
On an EEG, wave patterns vary among individuals in response to anesthetics, drugs, and pathologic and physiologic changes. The EEG can reveal the presence of organic brain damage, abnormal physiologic alterations, and actions of drugs. Electrodes placed on the scalp transmit the electrical signals, alpha rhythms, from brain activity. This electrophysiologic monitoring provides information about the functional integrity of the central nervous system during anesthesia and is especially valuable in patients undergoing high-risk neurosurgical, cardiac, vascular, or orthopedic procedures.

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.
