Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback
A Hormone levels are assessed by their concentration in the blood.
B Tanner stages are used to assess staging of secondary sex characteristics at
puberty.
C Growth hormone secretion tests are not associated with Tanner staging.
D Tanner stages are not associated with hyperthyroidism.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale:
1. Instead of decreasing, weight increases, because of retention of fluids.
2. Bradycardia is a serious sign, and can indicate impending cardiac arrest.
3. Tachycardia is a sign of congestive heart failure (CHF), because the heart attempts to improve cardiac output by beating faster.
4. Blood pressure does not increase in CHF.

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.
