Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

Use of cold medications can increase symptoms because of their anticholinergic properties. Use of saw palmetto and decreased oral intake at night may resolve symptoms. A vasectomy does not affect the symptoms of BPH.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D

The student who believes the bite of a mosquito or tick will transmit hepatitis is incorrect and needs further education. The students who said that infected needles, contaminated food or fluids, alcoholism or drug overdose can cause different types of hepatitis were correct and do not require further education.

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.
