Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Clients requiring a moderate amount of skilled nursing care are admitted to an intermediate care unit. The nurse should know that clients who need additional observation before hospitalization are likely to be admitted to a CDU because it provides care for clients who need additional observation, diagnostic testing, or treatment before hospital admission or discharge. Clients who require transitioning from the hospital or skilled nursing facility will be cared for in a self-care unit, not the clinical decision unit. Clients who have abused chemical substances are admitted to a chemical dependency unit.

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.
