Answer to Question 1

A
The gate theory states that pain impulses cause pain when they get through gates that are open. Pain is blocked when the gates are closed. Nonpharmacologic pain relief measures, such as meditation, work by closing the gates, which keeps pain impulses from coming through. Meditation does not open pain gates or stop pain from occurring. Meditation also does not have an effect on pain neuroregulators.

Answer to Question 2

B
Touch is a primal need, as necessary as food, growth, or shelter. Older adults need touch as much as or more than any other group. Skin hunger or poverty of touch is often acute among older adults, who often have fewer family members or friends to touch them.
Skin hunger or poverty of touch is acute among older adults.
Touch provides a feeling of connectedness and acceptance to others and their environment. Skin hunger relates to lack of touch.
The need for adequate nutrients and hydration does not relate to touch as a primary need related to skin hunger.

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.
