Answer to Question 1

D
This is an example of complementary medicine, combining a non-Western healing approach (acupuncture) used at the same time as conventional medicine (spine clinic). Traditional medicine would mean only attending the spine clinic and perhaps physical therapy. Integrative medicine merges conventional medicine with complementary and alternative therapies for which efficacy and safety have been established using scientific methods. Alternative medicine replaces traditional Western methods with non-Western healing approaches.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The carbohydrate used in parenteral solutions in the United States is dextrose monohydrate. Galactose is not used.

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.
