Answer to Question 1

D
Psychotherapy is an important tool for nurses in a variety of areas. It has potential relevance in all settings where psychiatric nursing is carried out. Nurses in the acute care, outpatient, and community settings are able to use psychotherapy to assist clients in achieving positive mental health.

Answer to Question 2

D
Physically destructive behavior is a response that is derived from an unspoken anger or fear. The most therapeutic communication for the situation is the one that validates and supports the underlying feeling but sets limits on the maladaptive action taken. The nurse's task is to help the destructive patients learn more adaptive ways to deal with anger, such as verbalization. Disparagement reflects the nurse's anger, and humiliation is aggressive to patients and nontherapeutic. Enlisting everyone to help clean up is the most therapeutic option, because it promotes cohesion and may encourage patients who did not do the damage to speak up and voice their anger at the offenders for spoiling their activity room. Peer input is always very effective.

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.
