Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The ejection fraction is a way of estimating the force that the ventricle generates during each car-diac cycle. It is calculated as the ratio of the stroke volume to the ventricular end-diastolic vol-ume. Systemic vascular resistance is used to describe the afterload that the left ventricle must overcome to eject blood into the systemic circulation. The pulmonary vascular resistance reflects the afterload that the right ventricle must overcome to eject blood into the pulmonary circulation. The right ventricular end-diastolic pressure is used as an indicator of the right ventricular preload and the left ventricular end-diastolic pressure is used to indicate left ventricular preload.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The systemic vascular resistance is the resistance the left ventricle must contract against to eject blood into the systemic circulation. Ejection fraction is a measurement of contractility. Pulmonary vascular resistance is the resistance the right ventricle must contract against to eject blood into the pulmonary circulation. Left ventricle end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) is used to estimate left ventricular preload.

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.
