Answer to Question 1

1, 3, 5
Explanation: 1. Defensive injuries may be a sign of abuse.
3. Lack of eye contact may be a sign of abuse.
5. Vague complaints without accompanying pathology may be a sign of abuse.

Answer to Question 2

1,2,3
Rationale 1: Batterers tend to be emotionally immature.
Rationale 2: Combined with low tolerance for frustration and poor impulse control, the batterer's pervasive sense of powerlessness leads him to strike out at life's inequities by abusing women.
Rationale 3: Batterers are insecure, and feel inferior, often feeling that they are undeserving of their partner.
Rationale 4: Batterers might be well respected in the community. This is important because it is one of the reasons why women are sometimes not believed or taken seriously when they seek support and assistance from friends, family members, and other resources.
Rationale 5: Extreme jealousy and possessiveness are the hallmarks of abusers.

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.
