Answer to Question 1

D
Accommodation involves including neutral health practices in the patient's plan of care. A diet that addresses correcting yin and yang imbalance would probably be psychologically helpful and would not be likely to interfere with Western medical treatment with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.

Answer to Question 2

B
Withdrawal is a common response to illness. The individual removes himself from others and refuses to interact. The other options are also common emotional responses to illness: anxiety is described as feelings of uneasiness and apprehension; shock refers to an overwhelmed feeling with inability to process information; and anger is an emotional response that may be directed inward or outward.

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.
