Answer to Question 1

C
Petechiae appear as tiny, pinpoint-sized, red or purple spots on the skin caused by small hemorrhages in the skin layers and may indicate a blood-clotting disorder, a drug reaction, or liver disease. Bluish-black patches are more indicative of malignant melanoma. With reduced turgor, the skin remains suspended or tented for a few seconds before slowly returning to place. This indicates decreased elasticity and possible dehydration. Large areas of raised, irritated skin are not characteristic of petechiae.

Answer to Question 2

individualized to meet the patient's needs
Standardized care plans must be individualized for each patient. Most standardized care plans allow for the addition of specific patient outcomes and target dates for achievement of these outcomes.

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.
