Answer to Question 1

A, B, D
Home care agencies provide direct, indirect, and respite care in the home. Acute care services are provided in the hospital.

Answer to Question 2

B, C
Home care is appropriate for a client with health needs that exceed the abilities of family and friends. Older adults who wish to avoid placement in a skilled nursing facility, those who require ongoing skilled care after discharge from the hospital, the terminally ill, and persons with chronic illness that must be monitored to avoid hospitalization are the most likely home health clients.

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.
