Answer to Question 1

A
The patient, a teenager, has relatively little control over her circumstances compared to her parents. However, when she approached her parent seeking support and protection, she was instead rebuffed and identified as the perpetrator rather than the victim. The patient made an effort to exert the power available to her by reporting the attempted assault, only to be accused herself and have the protection she desired withheld. Of the diagnoses listed, the most applicable would be powerlessness. There are no data to support an alteration in thought processes or interruption in family process. Rape-trauma syndrome involves posttraumatic stress disorderlike symptoms that include flashbacks and intrusive thoughts, none of which are documented here.

Answer to Question 2

A
H1 receptor blockade results in weight gain, which is undesirable for an obese patient. Blocking of the other receptors would have little or no effect on the patient's weight.

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.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
