Answer to Question 2

2

Rationale 1:Antipyretic and antifungal is incorrect because fungal infections of the ear are not treated with antipyretics.
Rationale 2: Cortisporin is a combination of neomycin and hydrocortisone (antibiotics and glucocorticoids), and is used to treat general ear infections and inflammation.
Rationale 3:Antibiotic therapy with an analgesic is incorrect because an analgesic might be added for pain control but would not be part of a combination medication.
Rationale 4:Antibiotic and prophylactic therapy is incorrect because long-term use of antibiotics is not recommended for prevention of infections.

Global Rationale: Cortisporin is a combination of neomycin and hydrocortisone (antibiotics and glucocorticoids), and is used to treat general ear infections and inflammation.

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.
