Answer to Question 1

b

Answer to Question 2

Registered dietitians (RDs) may be responsible for insertion of nasogastric or nasointestinal feeding tubes for adults in some institutions. A recent review of this practice found a 66 reduction of hospital costs associated with tube insertion along with a shorter time for insertion and a shorter time for feeding initiation in institutions where the RD is responsible for bedside placement of postpyloric feeding tubes. Box 5.3 summarizes the protocol for the insertion of tubes in adults. (See the Equipment section later in the chapter for more information about the tubes and other supplies involved.)

Before a vaccine is licensed in the USA, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviews it for safety and effectiveness. The CDC then reviews all studies again, as well as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians. Every lot of vaccine is tested before administration to the public, and the FDA regularly inspects vaccine manufacturers' facilities.

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.

Most strokes are caused when blood clots move to a blood vessel in the brain and block blood flow to that area. Thrombolytic therapy can be used to dissolve the clot quickly. If given within 3 hours of the first stroke symptoms, this therapy can help limit stroke damage and disability.
