The correct answer is C, November 1 - March 31. Influenza season typically occurs during these months in the Northern Hemisphere, including Colorado. During this time, the flu virus is more prevalent, leading to a higher number of cases and increased risk of transmission. It is essential for nursing home administrators to be prepared for influenza season by promoting vaccination, implementing infection control measures, and being vigilant for any signs of flu outbreaks among residents and staff.

Option A (October 1 - March 31) includes the correct timeframe and is a common misconception; however, the peak of influenza activity typically occurs between November and March.

Option B (November 1 - April 30) extends slightly beyond the typical influenza season, as flu activity starts to decline by April.

Option D (December 1 - February 28) is too narrow of a timeframe for the typical influenza season, as flu activity can begin as early as November and go beyond February in some cases.
