Answer to Question 1

4. Flat, with legs slightly elevated

Rationale:
A client experiencing shock should lie flat with slightly elevated legs. This allows for the blood pressure to be maintained during this critical time. The Trendelenburg position elevate sthe head of the bed and will not be effective to maintain blood pressure when shock is occurring. It is no longer recommended for the treatment of shock as it causes abdominal organs to press against the diaphragm, which impedes respirations and decreases coronary artery filling. Both the high Fowler's and reverse Trendelenburg positions elevate the head of the bed and will not be effective to maintain blood pressure when shock is occurring.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3

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.
