Answer to Question 1

C, D, E
Feedback
Correct The child with a soft tissue injury in the first 6 to 12 hours is treated by
controlling the swelling and reducing muscle damage. The acronym
RICE summarizes the care needed: rest, ice, compression, and elevation.
Incorrect During the acute phase of the injury, the child is not moved frequently and
range-of-motion exercises would not be done. The child with a soft tissue
injury in the first 6 to 12 hours is treated by controlling the swelling and
reducing muscle damage.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, D
Feedback
Correct All of these conditions are related to immaturity and warrant close
observation. After discharge the infant is at risk for rehospitalization
related to these problems. AWHONN has recently launched the
Near-Term Infant Initiative to study the problem and ways to ensure that
these infants receive adequate care. The nurse should ensure that this
infant is feeding adequately before discharge and that parents are taught
the signs and symptoms of these complications.
Incorrect These infants are at risk for respiratory distress and hypoglycemia.

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.
