Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. Population health nurses can suggest that the client with COPD refrain from excessive use of cough medicines because they decrease clearance of secretions and make clients more susceptible to respiratory infection. The excessive use will not affect his immunity, cause less fluid intake, or cause a decrease in his nutritional intake.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: 2. Illness and injury prevention with older adults includes screening for disease. Health promotion identifies ways to improve health. Resolution of existing health problems in the older population involves diagnosis and treatment of disease. Health restoration activities for older clients include restoring health and functional status as much as possible and providing palliative and end-of-life care.

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.
