Question 2

A 75-year-old white female patient says, I've heard that women live to an older age than men do. My husband and I are the same age, so I am afraid I will have to spend some years without him.
 
  That really worries me. Which answer is based on correct information?
  a. That is a realistic concern, as women do have a longer life expectancy than men. But many things can happen to change that.
  b. You need not worry because both you and your husband are white. That statistic is true only for black men and women.
  c. It is true that women have a longer life expectancy at birth. However, life expectancy measured at age 65 is almost the same for both sexes. You are both well past 65.
  d. That is true only in certain geographical areas, such as those with a high population of newly retired persons.

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.
