Answer to Question 1

C
Individuals may be uncooperative if they have not been approached properly and asked to participate. If testing takes long, the attention span may be affected. There may also be a reaction if the adult is pushed beyond his or her competency. Older adults would not become uncooperative because they have the full attention of the nurse.

Answer to Question 2

D
The role of the nurse has become increasingly diverse as the settings of care expand. In all venues, nurses may be teachers, activity planners, and supervisors. In retirement centers, assisted living, and home care, it may be the nurse who assists the older adult in determining ways to fill the day. LPNs are placed more and more in supervisory roles in long-term and in acute care settings, supervising the entire patient environment and the people interacting within it.

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.
