Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

B
In the team nursing model of patient care, a group of patients is assigned and cared for by a group or team of care providers such as an RN, an LPN, and an NAP. Functional nursing is task-oriented. Total patient care can be described as a patient (or patients) cared for by an RN with some support by other members of the health care staff, but the support staff is not specifically assigned to a particular group of patients. Primary nursing designates the RN as the primary provider of patient care.

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.
