Answer to Question 1

Prospective re-view/precertification: the service is examined before it is provided. Data is collected, usually by a nurse, from the patient and the physician. The facts of the individual case are compared to the appropriateness criteria. If the standards are met, the nurse can usually approve the service. If the standards are not met, a physician advisor may be asked to review the case and make a determination. Types of activities typically undergoing prospective review include authorization for referral, authorization for a procedure, preadmission review before hospitalization, and second surgical opinion.
Retrospective review: in this methodology, care is looked at after it is given. Usually a sample of cases is selected. Data is then collected from medical records, and the information from the record is compared to the appropriateness standards. Feedback is then given to the appropriate caregiver regarding inappropriate care provided.

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.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
