   Her blood pressure readings have been extremely erratic. She has a history of drug abuse, and detoxification management is in order. When this client's roommate asks you to have her admitted, you respond: a. She doesn't want help, so I doubt that she'll be admitted.
  b. What kind of insurance does she have? It might only cover part of the care.

Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D

Answer to Question 2

D
Clients who attempt suicide can be admitted to the hospital involuntarily by the physician for the clients' own safety. Reasons for involuntary admissions are potentially harmful to self, potentially harmful to others, or unable to care for self. Because the client has attempted to suicide, has a history of drug abuse, and states she does not want to go on, she is a safety risk to herself.

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.
