Answer to Question 1

C
In this situation, the person knows that she is going to die, so the decision of where to die is made freely and with sound mind. Suicide and planned suicide simply refer to intentionally taking one's own life. Self-injury is an active attempt to injure oneself.

Answer to Question 2

B
Electroconvulsive treatment may cause memory loss; such loss is usually transient and improves after treatments are completed. Most patients respond to a course of treatment involving 12 to 15 sessions of ECT. Restraint is not part of pretreatment protocol. ECT improves depression and can interrupt an episode of depression, but its effects are not lasting and may not improve the depression completely. Antidepressant medications or periodic additional sessions of ECT are indicated to reduce recurrence in most patients.

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.
