Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Plan for prolonged power outages. Keep flashlights, battery-powered lamps, portable radio, and extra batteries handy. Keep a first-aid kit stocked and on hand. Store 1 gallon of water per person in your household per day, and adequate food supplies to last 4 days.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Moist heat compresses help in relieving local pain. Heat causes vasodilation, which increases blood flow to the area where heat was applied. This increases the amount of oxygen, nutrients, and white blood cells (WBCs) delivered to body tissues. Cold compresses help in controlling hemorrhage, reducing edema, and blocking pain receptors.

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.
