Answer to Question 1

C
Motivation is the driving force behind compliance with any prescribed or individually developed health promotion program. An elderly patient often cites time of day, access, and illness as obstacles to following through with a health promotion activity (responses A and B). These become less important, however, if the older adult has identified an incentive or motivator. Simple recognition of a problem does not provide incentive or motivation to participate in a health promotion program.

Answer to Question 2

C
It is possible for individuals to boost their immune system through lifestyle changes that include rest, exercise, decreased stress, decreased smoking, decreased alcohol usage, adequate nutrition, and hydration. Dehydration, fluid restriction, and alcohol usage all place stress on the body, taxing the immune system.

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.
