Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Choice B is correct. The Supreme Court had ruled in 1911, in United States v. Johnson, that the 1906 Food and Drug Act did not prohibit false therapeutic claims, but only false and misleading statements about the ingredients or identity of a drug. In 1912, Congress went further and en-acted the Sherley Amendment to prohibit drug labels containing false therapeutic claims intend-ed to defraud the purchaser.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The medieval period began during the 1200s AD and lasted through the 1800s. During these 600 years, many myths and superstitions about hygiene and health existed. A balance of four body fluids, or humors, were seen as essential requirements for life: fire equaled yellow bile or chol-er, water equated to phlegm, the earth to black bile, and the air to blood.

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.
