Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3
Explanation: The patient's stated plan does not include bracing for negative consequences. Although it may be part of his plan, this statement does not indicate continuous evaluation. The patient is making a realistic appraisal of his needs and resources. He has already made a realistic appraisal of events.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. The nurse's presence and willingness to listen to patient stories can give meaning to the experience of suffering and assist the patient through suffering. While active listening is a therapeutic communication technique, it is not considered therapy. The nurse's use of active listening does not assist patients on focusing on the present issue or to recall events.

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.
