Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D, E
Software needs to be based on a standardized terminology for many reasons. A reasonable level of standardization involving practice, documentation, and information management helps home health nurses and other related community-based system clinicians provide better quality care and share details about that care with those within and outside of their organizations.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D
The core values are essential so that nurses help patients and their families increase their knowledge, gain skills, and become independent with their care. Nurses must be very flexible; they need to modify their schedules frequently.

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.
