B Incorrect. Although the duty of providing care may provide satisfaction among clients and their families, it has nothing to do with the laws of negligence.
C Incorrect. The laws of negligence are designed first of all to protect the clients, and in so doing the hospital will avoid legal difficulties. But, the client must be considered first and always.
D Incorrect. The duty contemplates the nurse will always perform in an ethical and moral manner, but the laws of negligence recognize the duty of providing accepted standards of care.

Though methadone is often used to treat dependency on other opioids, the drug itself can be abused. Crushing or snorting methadone can achieve the opiate "rush" desired by addicts. Improper use such as these can lead to a dangerous dependency on methadone. This drug now accounts for nearly one-third of opioid-related deaths.

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.
