Answer to Question 1

Normative comparisons require looking at a person's score as it compares with the scores of a sample of people who are representative of the entire population with regard to key characteristics (age, sex, etc.) or with scores of a subgroup who are similar to the patient being assessed. Self-referent comparisons are those that compare responses on various instruments with the patient's own prior performance, and they are used most often to examine the course of symptoms over time.

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.
