Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Patients with neurologic deficits such as peripheral neuropathy resulting from diabetes may not be able to identify extremes of hot and cold. Patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and asthma are not likely to be injured by temperature extremes. Patients with a stroke may have some alteration in sensation on one side of their body but can compensate by using the other side, and they are at less risk than a patient with diabetes.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Any interruption in the skin, which is the body's first line of defense, can potentially lead to infection. Both imbalanced nutrition and deficient fluid volume could have dry skin as a symptom. Acute pain is not appropriate.

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.
