Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Functional age refers to functioning and the ability to perform activities of daily living, such as bathing and grooming, and instrumental activities of daily living, such as cooking and shopping. This definition of aging is a better measure of age than chronological age. After all, most older adults are more concerned with their functional ability than their chronological age. Assisting older adults to remain independent and functional is a major focus of nursing care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Beginning in the 1970s, the women's movement called for the reform of systems affecting women's health. The current emphasis began before the presidential races that involved Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin. The women's movement has caused there to be new research studies that focus on women. Additionally, political correctness addressing the rights of women has occurred because of the women's movement.

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.
