Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The nurse should check peripheral pulses distal to the site, check the color and warmth of the affected extremity, and assess motor and sensory function. The client should be kept on bed rest until he or she is fully awake. The nurse should instruct the client not to bend the leg or flex the hip for up to 8 hours if the femoral site was used. After any study in which the femoral site is used, the client should lie flat for up to 8 hours to help prevent swelling, bruising, and bleeding at the puncture site.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Topical agents may cause bleaching of the hair or clothing. Topical agents, when combined with other agents, may cause excessive skin dryness. Tetracycline should be taken 1 hour before, or 2 hours after, any food consumption. Retinoic acid is a prescription drug, whereas salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide are available in over-the-counter topical agents.

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.
