Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Commonly, people with chronic pain experience periods of remission (when the disease is present but the person does not experience symptoms) or exacerbation (the symptoms reappear).

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Examples of tactile kinesthetic distraction include holding or stroking a loved one, pet, or toy; rocking; and slow rhythmic breathing. Project distraction includes playing a challenging game or performing meaningful work. Visual distraction can be accomplished through reading or watching television. Auditory distraction may occur when one listens to music.

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.
