Answer to Question 1

B
Imagining a pleasant place or situation is a quick technique to relax and counteract distress. Response A is incorrect; Mr. Rogers is not suffering from dementia, but rather is practicing a beneficial stress management tool. This tool is not for long-term stress management, however, which involves identifying and changing the stressor (response D).

Answer to Question 2

B
An older adult who is ordered to be on bed rest has treatment-induced immobility. All nursing interventions should be aimed at preventing the negative effects of immobility. Range of motion and weight lifting in bed can help to maintain joint flexibility and muscle strength. Responses A, C, and D are inappropriate activities for an older adult who has been ordered to bed rest.

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.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water.
