Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
In the middle adult years, as children depart from the household, the family enters the postparental family stage. Time and financial demands on parents decrease, and the couple faces the task of redefining their own relationship. Psychosocial factors involving the family include the stresses of singlehood, marital changes, transition of the family as children leave home, and the care of aging parents.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Lifestyle habits that activate the stress response increase the risk of illness. Smoking is a well-documented risk factor for pulmonary, cardiac, and vascular disease in smokers and in individuals who receive secondhand smoke. The presence of certain chronic illnesses in the family increases the family member's risk of developing a disease. Family risk is distinct from hereditary disease. Caffeine is a naturally occurring legal stimulant that is readily available. Caffeine stimulates catecholamine release, which, in turn, stimulates the central nervous system; it also increases gastric acid secretion, heart rate, and basal metabolic rate.

A seasonal flu vaccine is the best way to reduce the chances you will get seasonal influenza and spread it to others.

Did you know?

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.
