Answer to Question 1

lateral

Rationale: The lateral lumbar spine will show the body's anterior and the spinous processes in profile posteriorly. A true lateral will demonstrate the intervertebral foramina.

Answer to Question 2

jugular notch and vertebra prominens

Rationale: When positioning the PA chest, the vertebra prominens can be used to measure down 7-10 inches to reach approximately level of thoracic vertebrae of 7/8 . When positioning the AP chest, the jugular notch is the landmark of choice to measure down 3-4 inches to reach the proper center location.

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.
