Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Thyroid problems are common in areas where iodine is limited. The use of iodized salt has reduced iodine deficiencies and thyroid problems for people who live in the United States. People who live in India and China have a higher risk of developing thyroid disease related to iodine deficiency. Australia, some areas in Eastern Europe, and South America have trouble with iodine deficiency due to their soil, which is typically poor in iodine.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Some cultural groups believe that the touching of another person's head is inappropriate and this type of examination would be unwelcome. They believe that the soul or spirit resides within their heads. These cultural groups include, but are not limited to, individuals who are of Hmong and Cambodian heritage.

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.
