Answer to Question 1

C
For patients with renal failure, the best sources of protein are high-quality proteins. These are mostly animal proteins, but also include soy. Most vegetable protein has a lower biologic value. Patients with renal failure are able to digest whole proteins and do not need extra essential amino acids.

Answer to Question 2

D
Retention of excessive amounts of waste products of protein metabolism in the blood (including urea) is known as uremia. Oliguria is low output of urine. Jaundice is buildup of bilirubin in the blood due to liver disease or failure. Nephritis is an inflammation of the kidney.

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.
