Answer to Question 1

A
Twin studies suggest the presence of genetic factors in suicide; however, separating genetic
predisposition to suicide from predisposition to depression or alcoholism is difficult. Primary
interventions can be helpful in promoting and maintaining health and possibly counteracting genetic
load. Option B is an untrue statement. Option C is factual but not helpful. Option D is an
oversimplification.

Answer to Question 2

D
A fact witness testifies regarding first-hand experience only. Option A: Forensic nurse examiners
conduct court-ordered examinations and provide written reports and court testimony regarding the
findings of the examinations. Option B: Physiological forensic nurses work with the alleged victim
rather than the alleged perpetrator. Option C: An expert witness testifies regarding involvement with
the client and any documentation made by the expert witness and provides a professional opinion
based on professional expertise.

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.
