Answer:

Between worldwide outbreaks, known as pandemics, influenza viruses undergo constant, rapid evolution (a process called antigenic drift ), which is driven by mutations in the genes encoding antigen proteins.

Antigenic shift is the process by which two or more different strains of a virus, or strains of two or more different viruses, combine to form a new subtype having a mixture of the surface antigens of the two or more original strains. The term is often applied specifically to influenza, as that is the best-known example, but the process is also known to occur with other viruses, such as visna virus in sheep. Antigenic shift is a specific case of reassortment or viral shift that confers a phenotypic change.

nikitadnepr [17]
The most common side effect of opioid medication is Constipation because they reduce gastrointestinal motility, secretions, and blood flow. To treat constipation with non- pharmacological therapies, the patient should have a high-fiber diet, increased fluid intake, and increased physical activity. Due to the condition of the patient, it's not possible to get rid of the side effects with this type of therapy, so the nurse will have to prescribe stimulant laxatives to maintain regular bowel movements.
