Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Palpation is an assessment technique that uses the sense of touch. The hands and fingers can assess temperature, turgor, texture, moisture, vibrations, and shape.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Auscultation is the act of listening with a stethoscope to sounds produced within the body. Four characteristics are assessed and documented: pitch (high to low), loudness (soft to loud), quality (gurgling or swishing), and duration (short, medium, long). Resonance is measured with percussion. Turgor and texture are assessed with palpation.

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.
