Answer to Question 1

A
Response:
The child will also be taking protease inhibitors as part of the three-drug regimen for HAART. The other medications are typically used for the treatment of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).

Answer to Question 2

B
Response:
A pediatric practice is most likely to fulfill the characteristics for primary care, also known as a medical home. An urgent care center does not provide preventive care activities. Mobile outreach would not provide for any care requiring hospitalization. A dermatologist is unlikely to provide service outside its area of specialization.

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.
