Answer to Question 1

B
Because of the intensity of this infection and the neonate's immature immune system, sepsis occurs and can be fatal. Anemia, urinary retention, and jaundice are not characteristic of this type of infection.

Answer to Question 2

B
Stroke is the third leading cause of death for women. Stroke kills more than twice as many women annually as breast cancer. Stroke and heart disease cause almost twice as many deaths in women than all types of cancer combined. Blacks have a higher incidence of hypertension and stroke than Caucasians (American Heart Association, 2008). Males have a higher incidence of completed suicides than women.

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.
