Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A Dextrose 5 in water is an isotonic solution.
B Dextrose 10 in water is a hypertonic solution.
C A 0.9 sodium chloride solution is isotonic.
D Lactated Ringer's solution is an isotonic solution.

Answer to Question 2

D
In the PACU, the client is often drowsy. The effects of anaesthetic agents subdue the client's level of consciousness and neurological function.
Normally during the immediate recovery phase in the PACU, faint or absent bowel sounds are auscultated in all four quadrants. Clients who have had abdominal surgery may develop paralytic ileus, with a return of bowel sounds 24 to 48 hours later.
The acute incisional pain experienced in this stage of recovery is usually not relieved with non-invasive comfort measures, but will recover with pharmacological measures of pain relief.
Depending on the surgery, a client may not regain voluntary control over urinary function for six to eight hours after anaesthesia.

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.
