Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The nurses or rescuers should perform an assessment after five cycles of compressions and ventilations and every few minutes thereafter. Assessment for signs of spontaneous breathing can take place only by interrupting chest compressions; such interruptions should not last more than 5 seconds. The nurse performs CPR at a rate of 15 compressions to 2 ventilations. The nurse does not wait for assessment until the emergency resuscitation personnel arrive but rather assesses the client periodically to check if the CPR is effective or not.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The nurse should obtain a three-prong grounded plug adapter, as it carries any stray electricity back to the ground. Using an extension cord may be an electrical hazard. Taping the electrical cord to the ground and running the electrical cord under the carpet are not appropriate actions for electrical safety.

It is believed that the Incas used anesthesia.

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.
