Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Packed cells are given to clients with anemia who do not need increased circulating blood volume. Whole blood is rarely used for transfusions today, except to treat massive acute hemorrhage. Platelet concentrates are used to prevent or to resolve bleeding caused by thrombocytopenia or for active bleeding disorders, such as disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Serum albumin is used to treat hypovolemic shock (low blood volume) or to replace albumin lost because of burns or kidney damage.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Sitz baths are frequently ordered for a female client following a vaginal hysterectomy or delivery. Amenorrhea is the absence of, or abnormal stoppage of, menses. Premenstrual syndrome (PMS), also called premenstrual tension, is associated with cyclic affective (emotional) and physical symptoms that are common in a high percentage of menstruating women. Menopause (climacteric), the cessation of menstruation, usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 50 . These conditions are not treated with sitz baths.

The cure for trichomoniasis is easy as long as the patient does not drink alcoholic beverages for 24 hours. Just a single dose of medication is needed to rid the body of the disease.

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.
