Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 3, 4, 5

Rationale: During an evaluation of physical fitness, the nurse assesses several components of the body's physical functioning, including flexibility.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 4
Rationale 1: Homeostatic mechanisms have characteristics that include self-regulation, such as automatically increased respiratory rates.
Rationale 2: Homeostatic mechanisms have characteristics that include compensatory actions, such as shivering to create body heat.
Rationale 3: This is not an example of a homeostatic mechanism; they are self-regulation, compensation, negative feedback, and utilization of multiple mechanisms to correct a physiological imbalance.
Rationale 4: Homeostatic mechanisms have characteristics that include regulation by negative feedback systems.
Rationale 5: This is not an example of a homeostatic mechanism; they are self-regulation, compensation, negative feedback, and utilization of multiple mechanisms to correct a physiological imbalance.

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.
