Answer to Question 1

arterial blood oxygen saturation
Pulse oximetry is the noninvasive measurement of arterial blood oxygen saturationthe percent to which hemoglobin is filled with oxygen.

Answer to Question 2

D
Instruct the patient to report any tingling or numbness in the upper torso, which may mean that the crutches are being used incorrectly, or that they are the wrong size. If the handgrip is too low, radial nerve damage can occur even if overall crutch length is correct, because the extra length between the handgrip and the axillary bar can force the bar up into the axilla as the patient stretches down to reach the handgrip. After correct crutch adjustment, two to three fingers must fit between the top of the crutch and the axilla. Adequate space prevents crutch palsy. Proper fit is when the crutch pad is approximately 2 inches or two to three finger widths under the axilla, with the crutch tips positioned 6 inches (15 cm) lateral to the patient's heel.

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.
