Answer to Question 1

2
Explanation: 1. Surveying the nursing staff will allow nurses the opportunity to inform the manager of
concerns and possible solutions to decrease the tension on the unit. Although rotating staff to
leadership roles, taking a client assignment, and arranging a meeting with human resources
may help the situation they do not allow the manager to assess what is causing the tension.

Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation: 1. Placing the nurse in a charge nurse position enriches the nurses job. Transferring the nurse to
another unit will not enhance leadership skills; in fact, it may cause the nurse to wonder why
she is being transferred. Providing an educational program may cause resentment among the
nurses.

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.
