During the admission procedure, a patient informs a nurse that he is a Sikh and must keep his head covered at all times. He normally wears a turban.
 
  The other patient in the double room he has been assigned to is recovering from detoxification and has had episodes where he's used racial slurs. In processing the patient's admission, which of the following should the nurse do?
  1. Make a note on the patient's record that a curtain should be kept drawn between the two patients at all times so the verbally abusive patient cannot see the new patient and make offensive remarks based on his appearance.
  2. Assume that the patient will be fine because Sikh men pride themselves on their strength.
  3. Inform the patient of the situation and ask if he is comfortable being in the same room with the abusive patient.
  4. Ask to have the patient assigned to a different room, without an abusive roommate.

Question 2

During the admission process, a nurse should do which of the following? Select all that apply.
 
  1. Speak in a hurried tone.
  2. Shake the patient's hand.
  3. Speak to the patient in a kindly manner.
  4. Tell the patient his or her credentials.
  5. Inform the patient that he or she is shorthanded.

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.
