In addition to treating duodenal ulcer disease, lansoprazole and omeprazole also are approved in the treatment of:
 
  a. H. pylori infections c. inflammatory bowel disease
  b. E. coli infections d. irritable bowel syndrome

Question 2

An elderly client receiving eszopiclone asked the nurse why he only takes 2 mg of the drug, while his son takes 4 mg. The nurse's best response is:
 
  a. You are prescribed the lower dose, because at your age you do not process and eliminate drugs the same as your son.
  b. You should ask your doctor for an increased dose, explaining that your son takes a higher dose.
  c. Because this drug affects what we call REM sleep, older clients should not receive more than 2 mg of this drug.
  d. I don't know why your son would be prescribed such a high dose of this drug, but I will check with your doctor about it.

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.

Vaccines cause herd immunity. If the majority of people in a community have been vaccinated against a disease, an unvaccinated person is less likely to get the disease since others are less likely to become sick from it and spread the disease.
