Answer to Question 1

C
The most important first step to take when symptoms suggesting dementia appear in a client is to rule out reversible causes of the symptoms. In this manner, dementia is a diagnosis of exclusion. Nutritional intake and poor management of diabetes are examples of risk factors that may create symptoms that appear to be dementia, yet are reversible.

Answer to Question 2

A
Patients who believe they are transsexual and request surgical reassignment must be of legal age, have two therapists agree that the surgery is indicated, and live in the preferred gender identity role for at least 1 year. Although follow-up care also is generally recommended, there is no specific time requirement.

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.
