Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Short-term outcomes include the patient's ability to voice an understanding about the selected contraceptive method, voice an understanding of all information necessary to provide informed consent, and voice a comfort level with the use of the contraceptive method selected. Intermediate and long-term goals include the patient's correct and consistent use of the selected contraceptive method, denial of adverse side effects, continued satisfaction with the selected contraceptive method, and consistent use of the contraceptive method and avoidance of pregnancy for the following year.

Answer to Question 2

ANS:
1:c; 2: e; 3: g; 4:b; 5:h; 6: f; 7:a; 8:d
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone stimulates the release of follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone from the anterior pituitary. Somatostatin is also known as growth hormone- inhibiting hormone; it inhibits the release of growth hormone. Adrenocorticotropic hormone controls the development and function of the adrenal cortex. Oxytocin stimulates uterine contractions and the release of milk from milk ducts during lactation. Prolactin stimulates the maturation of the mammary glands during pregnancy. Corticotropin-releasing hormone appears to provide a protective action by minimizing a maternal immunological rejection that could cause miscarriage. Thyrotropin-releasing hormone regulates thyroid hormones. Growth hormone is responsible for developing muscle mass and protein synthesis, among other things.

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.
