Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
An annual flu vaccine is recommended for all adults. The administration of oral polio will not need to be updated in this population. The administration of tetanus toxoid should be every 10 years. HAV vaccination is not mandatory.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The nurse should measure and record weights to assist in determining the amount of mobilization of excess fluid. This is a more accurate gauge of changes in fluid status than skin turgor, urine osmolarity, or chest auscultation.
