Answer to Question 1

A, B, D
Cultural care accommodation/negotiation is part of Leininger's theory.
Cultural care repatterning/restructuring is part of Leininger's theory.
Cultural preservation/maintenance is part of Leininger's theory.
Cultural compromise/confrontation is not part of Leininger's theory.
Cultural reeducation/recreating is also not part of Leininger's theory.

Answer to Question 2

D
Across all three domains of nursing (education, practice, and research), theory remains a tool that serves to make meaningful connections among various bits of information collected. Theories and frameworks provide direction and guidance for structuring professional nursing practice, education, and research. This meaning then guides nursing action. Theory can guide data collection and implementation of nursing activities, but all situations need to be seen in their holistic and individualized entireties.
Theory should drive nursing actions, just as nursing action should inform theory.
Theories are not meant to be rigid and unyielding; in fact, theories help explain variations in patient situations, guide holistic nursing education, and can help formulate questions for 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.
