Answer to Question 1

D
To champion a process means to defend or support something. Informal, highly respected leaders are the best persons to choose as champions. They will help sell the new idea to others in that particular discipline. They may be involved in education, leadership, and ongoing marketing of the idea.

Answer to Question 2

B
Involving individuals at all levels of the organization will ensure a variety of perspectives and more buy in to the final product. Including the patient's perspective may provide additional insight about the issue. Ideally, those involved in all levels of patient care, such as the vice-president of nursing, nurse manager, oncology clinical nurse specialist, licensed practical nurses, and nurse's aides, as well as patients of the registered nurse, may need to be included to gain additional perspective.

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.
