Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A Incorrect. This statement is true. Falling and confusion are potential clinical in-dicators of heart failure, pneumonia, and many other conditions.
B Correct. This statement is not true. For a debilitated person at the beginning of the course of infection or in dehydration, the chest x-ray study is often falsely negative.
C Incorrect. This is a true statement. Pneumovax is a 1-time vaccine against the pneumococcus bacterium.
D Incorrect. This is a true statement. Bacteria from the mouth can migrate into the lower respiratory tract and cause infection.

Answer to Question 2

A

Feedback
A Correct. A person with COPD can perform self-care tasks if allowed plenty of time for them as well as breaks for rest.
B Incorrect. The patient can potentially benefit more from longer periods of exer-cise supplemented with oxygen than from short excursions without oxygen.
C Incorrect. A plan to rest in the future after the job is done does not compensate for deprivation of rest when she needs it.
D Incorrect. A plan to rest in the future after the job is done does not compensate for deprivation of rest when she needs it.

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.
