Answer to Question 1

Answer: C, D

The client who is sleeping at night and is no longer experiencing chills from fever has recovered and is getting appropriate sleep time. Outcomes for those with the flu do not usually include walking, going to work, or eating a healthy diet. These would be included in a wellness plan of care.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A, B, D

Sanitizing high-touch items such as toys and all contact surfaces, teaching children to wash their hands, and appropriate respiratory etiquette such as cover your cough education all control the growth and spread of microorganisms. Teaching parents safe food preparation and storage is another tool to prevent the spread of microorganisms, but is not related to the flu virus. Immunizations should not be withheld from immunocompromised children, and this is not an infection-control strategy. To prevent the spread of communicable diseases, microorganisms must be killed or their growth controlled.
