Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 17

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2, 3, 5
When mild hypoglycemia occurs, immediate treatment is necessary. People experiencing hypoglycemia should take about 15 g of a rapid-acting sugar. This amount of sugar is found in 1/2 cup (4 ounces) of fruit juice. After eating a carbohydrate source the patient should wait 15 minutes and then monitor blood glucose level. If the blood glucose remains low after 15 minutes, eat another 15 grams of carbohydrate. Blood glucose should be tested 1 hour after the blood glucose has reached  70 mg/dL because blood glucose levels may start to fall again after 1 hour. Adding sugar to the fruit sugar already in the juice could cause a rapid rise in blood glucose, with persistent hyperglycemia.

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.
