Answer to Question 1

C
The vaccination should be considered by high-risk populations. About 50 of individuals over age 80 years will have the disease. The vaccination has been approved for use. The immunity provided is anticipated to last for 6 years.

Answer to Question 2

A
While each of these interventions is important for management of the patient with burns, only ambulation works to prevent contractures. Other interventions address pain management, ade-quate hydration, and adequate nutritional intake.
