Answer to Question 1

C
There are many ways nurses can use to decrease the risk for liability. One way to do this is to avoid taking verbal or telephone orders from a health care practitioner. If it is necessary for the nurse to take a verbal or telephone order, always repeat the order back to the provider and document on the physician's order sheet that the order was read back and verified.

Answer to Question 2

B
Professional responsibility and accountability are two primary reasons why nurses document. Thorough documentation provides a method of communication among health care team members, written evidence of what was done for the patient and evidence of compliance with professional practice standards. Evidence of physician orders is not seen in documentation nor is the evidence of staffing patterns or consent for treatments.

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.
