Answer to Question 1

3, 5
Explanation: 1. Intuition and past experiences enable the expert nurse to make clinical judgments based upon
wisdom, sensitivity to the client, and a gut feeling that a change in the client is imminent. The
trial and error method is incorrect because the problem solving is not based on prior
experiences; rather one approach after the other is used until the problem is solved.
Experimentation is incorrect because experimentation involves testing a theory to produce a
prediction. Satisficing is incorrect because satisficing involves choosing a solution to meet
minimum standards of care.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale 1: Any incident that is unexpected or unplanned and that could potentially harm a client, family member, or staff is a reportable incident.
Rationale 2: A medical-legal incident occurs when a client or family refuses treatment as ordered.
Rationale 3: When a client or family member indicates general dissatisfaction with care and the situation cannot be resolved, an incident report is filed.
Rationale 4: A medication error occurs when the nurse unintentionally omits a medication or fluid, gives the wrong dose, gives the dose at the wrong time, or gives the medication or fluid to the wrong client.

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.
