Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C
Common risk factors for cholelithiasis include hyperlipidemia, obesity, pregnancy, use of birth control pills, infection, bile stasis, congenital anomalies, use of total parenteral nutrition, and family history. Native Americans and Hispanics of both genders have the highest rate of this disease according to ethnicity. Pancreatitis is the most common complication of cholelithiasis. Smoking is not related.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D, E
Omphalitis is infection of the umbilical cord stump. Prevention methods include keeping the area clean and dry, cleansing the umbilical stump with the recommended solution, and positioning the baby's diaper below the level of the umbilicus. The other three interventions are not related to preventing omphalitis.

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.
