Answer to Question 1

C
Haitian-American patients may be more likely to feel they are receiving effective treatment when a nurse is seen. In Haiti, a nurse is given more authority and status than a physician, and the patient may be more cooperative with directions given by a nurse. When nursing measures are being implemented (e.g., taking the patient's blood pressure), the nurse should tell the patient verbally what is being done and that it is for the patient's benefit. Actions by the nurse are related to being helped. Many Haitians believe that leaves have a special significance in healing. Leaves may be found in the clothes and on various parts of the body. Leaves are thought to have mystical power related to regaining or keeping health.

Answer to Question 2

C
The purpose of licensing laws for LPN/LVNs is to protect the public from unqualified practitioners.

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.
