Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The tilt table test is specific for neurally mediated syncope.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Parents and siblings need to be tested for long QT syndrome as soon as possible. It is true the child has driving restrictions until the rhythm is controlled for 6 months, but for a 12-year old, this is not priority information. Sports may be curtailed until the rhythm is controlled, but there is no specific restriction that lasts for 1 year. Heart failure and infection are not related.

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.
