Answer to Question 1

C
Degenerative joint disease (DJD), or osteoarthritis, is the most common type of arthritis and results from progressive destruction of joints by wear and tear. The weight-bearing joints of the lower extremities, the hand, and cervical and lumbar vertebrae are most often involved.

Answer to Question 2

C
Weight-bearing exercise such as walking is useful in preventing further bone loss and in stimulating new bone formation. Nursing care focuses on encouraging clients to maintain good posture and physical activity, to avoid injury, to take medications as prescribed, and to eat foods high in calcium and vitamin D.

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.
