Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3

1. Physical therapy is not appropriate immediately following the injury as it will add to the swelling.
2. A low-sodium diet will not help the swelling because swelling is due to the body's inflammatory response.
3. NSAIDs will assist with decreasing inflammation and controlling pain.
4. Diuretics are given to reduce swelling from excess fluid retention, not the inflammation due to injury.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4

1. A compound fracture is one with the skin broken through and the bone is protruding.
2. An unstable bone moves.
3. Compound, unstable complete fractures are repaired in surgery.
4. A complete fracture means that the bone is completely severed.

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.
