Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
Disputes about working conditions and practices can often be resolved through the institution's grievance procedure. Confronting the nurses may not be beneficial and it would be inappropriate and ineffective to involve the state board of nursing or physicians.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Benefits are an important consideration that should have a significant impact on the nurse's choice of workplace. Benefits are likely a more important consideration than friends, the start date, or the size of each facility.

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.
