Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

The nurse would show the UAP the exact procedure the first time to avoid any confusion. The nurse would reassess the client's skin later rather than asking the UAP if the task was done. The nurse could possibly alarm the client by asking the client if care was appropriate. Closely observing the UAP defeats the purpose of delegation.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

The Kardex is a concise method of organizing and recording data about a client, making information quickly accessible to all health professionals. The medical record contains the same information as the Kardex, but the complete medical record is lengthy and would take the student more time to review. The MAR includes only those medications that are prescribed or scheduled to be administered during the client's stay and does not include other information like diagnostic tests, daily care, and so on. The written care plan may be included in the Kardex, or at least a portion of the care plan, but it would not be as inclusive as the Kardex.

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.
