Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: The death of a family member often has a profound effect on the whole familyespecially if the deceased, as in this situation, was the head of the family. Family disorganization would be common, but as the family begins to recover, a new sense of normalcy develops and the family reintegrates its roles and functions.
Rationale 2: Families need support from extended family members, their community, and spiritual advisers.
Rationale 3: This option is not considered a normal pattern of family grieving, and the nurse should be alert for problems that may develop if these feelings are present.
Rationale 4: Seclusion is not considered a normal pattern of family grieving, and the nurse should be alert for problems that may develop if this response is present.

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.
