Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4
Explanation: Patients experiencing mania typically exhibit altered thought processes evidenced by agitation and delusions. Self-care deficit, ineffective coping, and disturbed sleep patterns are not evident in this scenario.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1, 2, 3, 5
Explanation: Achieving complete remission is an appropriate long-term goal for patients with depressive disorders. Complete remission is possible only with the coordinated efforts of patients, families, and providers. Maintaining adherence with therapy, promoting regular patterns of activity, and anticipating stressors and minimizing functional impairment are appropriate for patients with depressive disorders, as well as for patients with bipolar disorders. Weight restoration is an appropriate goal for patients with anorexia nervosa.

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.
