Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4

The nurse should place the probe on a site that is well perfused and warm because the probe works by measuring blood flowing through the site. The most common site for measuring oxygen saturation is the finger, and the probe can be placed on the dominant or nondominant hand. The client should be asked not to move the finger until the reading is obtained. If the oximeter probe is to remain in place, the position should be changed periodically to avoid injury.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

The first sound heard is the systolic pressure reading, or phase 1 of Korotkoff's sounds. Diastolic is the last sound heard of Korotkoff's sound phase 5.

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.
