Answer to Question 1

A
Much of the information gathered from a patient comes from questioning them directly. A closed question is focused and seeks a particular answer. For example, when interviewing a newly admitted patient with diabetes, the nurse asks, What time do you take your insulin? A specific question with a specific answer is a typical closed question, which generally requires only one or two words in response.

Answer to Question 2

collagen
Collagen forms as an immature scar over a new surgical wound.

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.
