Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Prevention of cardiac arrest and injuries is the first step in the chain of survival in children in contrast to early emergency medical system (EMS) activation in adults. Integrated postcardiac arrest care is the last step in the chain for both adults and children. Early CPR is the second step in the chain for both adults and children.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
The nurse needs to emphasize that a peer group that abuses substances is a risk factor associated with substance abuse and increases the chances of a child experimenting. Other risk factors include a family history of substance abuse, current parental substance abuse, and negative life events.

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.
