Answer to Question 1

A
Children will feel safer during an examination if it is initiated from the periphery and then moves to the central. For example, examine the extremities before moving to the chest. It also helps to perform parts of the examination that you can do visually before actually touching the child. When obtaining histories of infants and children, gather all or part of the information from parents or guardians. Call children by their preferred name, and address parents formally (e.g., as Mr. and Mrs. Brown) rather than by first names.

Answer to Question 2

C
Perform hand hygiene before equipment preparation and the examination. A well-equipped examination room is preferable, but often the examination occurs in the patient's room. In the home you may perform the examination in the patient's bedroom. Be sure to eliminate other sources of noise, take precautions to prevent interruptions, and make sure the room is warm enough to maintain comfort. Patients with mobility impairments require safe transfer to an examination table. The patient is the expert and should be asked how to safely move from the bed to the table, either with a standing assisted transfer or by being lifted, as with a child or small adult.

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.
