Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

B

Feedback
A The person with hypotension would not require the passive type of relaxation.
B Passive relaxation is useful for persons for whom the effort and energy expenditure of active muscle contracting leads to discomfort or exhaustion, such as the person with terminal cancer. This type of relaxation has been shown to contribute significantly to cancer palliative care.
C The person with work-related stress would not require the passive type of relaxation.
D The patient experiencing dysfunctional grieving would not require the passive type of relaxation. Therapeutic touch has been found effective in improving mood in bereaved adults.

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.
