Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: The goal of family therapy is to increase the likelihood that improvements in the child's mental health will occur. Involving step-parents in family therapy builds support in the home for these gains with consistent and sustained family patterns. Reliving past events and related feelings may occur as part of play therapy. Speaking for the child is not a goal of family therapy. Providing a safe environment for interaction is another aspect of increasing the likelihood that improvements will occur; however, it is not a goal of family therapy.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: If a child uses certain language to describe a feeling or experience, the nurse should attempt to use that language in further understanding the child's experience. The point of the nurse's response is not to address the child's bad behavior, but to discuss whatever subject the child introduced. The nurse's open-ended response allows the child to follow his or her own thoughts rather than provide specific information. The nurse is not simply reflecting the child's experience but stimulating further discussion.

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.
