Answer to Question 1

A
Pneumaturia, or gas in the urine, can occur if there is an abnormal passage between the bladder and vagina. A fistula would not cause hematuria, oliguria, or dysuria.

Answer to Question 2

B
The emergency contraceptive Uliprisal (Ella) requires a prescription. It prevents pregnancy by prolonging ovulation and can be taken up to 5 days after unprotected sex. The woman is advised to take an antiemetic prior to each dose to minimize nausea and vomiting. Antiemetics are not necessary before levonorgestrel. Plan B one-step is one tablet of levonorgestrel only, taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex; the tablet was approved in July 2009 and is available without prescription to women over 17 years of age. After using any emergency contraception, the patient should be referred for counseling and follow-up care.

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.
