You are on the scene of a bus rollover on a rural interstate. A person states that he is a volunteer at an out-of-state fire department and that the worst patient is over there. He insists that you follow him to this person. You can see that there are other people in and around the bus who could be injured. Which of the following best describes your role and your actions at this point?
 
  A) Give the first responder your aid bag and tell him or her to provide care until more units arrive. Quickly assess the scene, then return to the patient.
  B) If you have not done so, radio a size-up. Then, you and your partner triage all persons needing care and/or rescue. Pay particular attention to the need for specialized rescue companies.
  C) You are overwhelmed at this point. It is not prudent for you to take action, because you will undoubtedly be unable to care for all situations that will come upon you. Do a size-up and remain in the unit until you have more resources.
  D) Follow the first responder; to neglect the patient after he has told you he or she needs care is negligence.

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.
