B If the child has these clinical signs, they should be immediately reported for
evaluation.
C The parents are advised of probable posttraumatic symptoms. These include
behavioral changes and sleep disturbances.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The patient has the morning after pill but has not yet taken the prescribed dosage. This indicates that the patient has not yet made a decision. Powerlessness would be applicable if the patient's planned contraceptive was ineffective. Spiritual distress would be appropriate if there were a conflict regarding contraceptive methods. Readiness for enhanced knowledge would be applicable if the patient was asking about different contraceptive types.

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.
