Answer to Question 1

B
Conduction is the loss of heat to an object in contact with the body. Bathing a patient in cool or tepid water will lower the patient's temperature. Radiation is the loss of heat in the form of infrared rays. If the temperature of the body is greater than the surroundings, heat is lost from the body to the environment. Convection is the movement of heat away from the body's surface. The use of fans enhances convected heat loss by air. Respiration is the act of breathing.

Answer to Question 2

B
As a case manager, the nurse would track a patient's progress through the health care system. As an advocate, the nurse would act as a change agent. As an expert, the nurse would develop theory and conduct research.

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.
