Answer to Question 1

C
In order to best provide support, the nurse must fully understand the patient's needs. This is done before support options can be determined. The other options are examples of interventions for needs that have not yet been determined.

Answer to Question 2

B
Depression is common after a life-threatening illness. Life-threatening illnesses can cause very strong psychological responses. After such an event, clients may find that they are no longer able to continue with their previous lifestyle (e.g., diet, physical activity) and have to develop new behaviors and practices to adjust. Furthermore, being confronted with their own mortality may completely change how they view what is possible or likely for their future. The clients may find themselves overwhelmed and unable to cope with such changes.

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.
