Answer to Question 1

2, 3, 4, 5
Use of certain medications can interfere with the validity of a skin-prick response. These medications include antihistamines, benzodiazepines, theophylline, and antidepressants. Corticosteroids and aspirin have no effect on the skin-prick test.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Excessive belching can be resolved by instructing the client to eat slowly, do not drink with a straw, avoid carbonated beverages, do not smoke, and do not chew gum. Not eating onions might help with flatus.

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.
