Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Several factors must be considered for an antibiotic to be effective. It should not cause an adverse or allergic reaction, nor should it affect the normal flora (normal and useful bacteria) that usually reside in the human body. An antibiotic must be soluble in water and must diffuse readily into body tissue. Furthermore, if given orally, it should be well absorbed by the GI tract. Finally, it should not be antagonistic to other antibiotics.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Low birth weight is less than 5.5 lb and preterm is born before the completion of the 37th week gestation. Term babies are born from the 38th week, but before completion of the 41st week. Very low birth weight is 1 to 3.5 lb.

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.
