Answer to Question 1

B
The CDC recommends that older adults, people with respiratory impairment, and health care workers acquire an annual influenza immunization. A pneumonia vaccination is important for this patient, but it is not given on a yearly basis. Tetanus and hepatitis B are recommended for most individuals but are not given annually.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, E
The nurse should document seizure duration, location of seizure initiation, description of unila-teral or bilateral movement, and presence of incontinence. The family's reaction to the seizure is not included in documentation of a seizure.
