Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Sensate focus is a method for partners to learn what each finds arousing and to learn to communicate those preferences. It begins with nongenital contact and gradually includes genital touch and sexual intercourse.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
In healthy adults, the sex drive is integrated through the central nervous system, with the autonomic nervous system governing extragenital changes (increased respiration and heart rate). The parasympathetic nervous system largely controls arousal, and the sympathetic nervous system controls orgasmic discharge. Sexual stimulation brings about a total-body response, with dramatic changes seen in the genitals and breasts. Sex hormones, particularly androgen, influence desire in both genders, but less is known about hormonal influence in women. That the higher centers of the brain apparently mediate the lower reflex response centers supports the relationship between cognitive and affective states and sexual function.

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.
