Answer to Question 1

1. I have delegated household chores to other family members..

Rationale:
One technique for reducing stress on the joints is to delegate household tasks to family members. The client does not need to refrain from all household chores. Sleeping for nine hours at night will not alleviate the need for frequent rest periods during the day. Increased joint pain would indicate that goals have not been met.

Answer to Question 2

3. Swimming

Rationale:
Swimming exercises all the extremities without putting undue stress on joints. Softball, football, or basketball could exacerbate joint discomfort.

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.
