Answer to Question 1

D
Effective listening improves the ability to meet client needs. Changing the environment to decrease distractions is a practice important to listening skills. Finishing client sentences, not clarifying messages, and avoiding taking notes are barriers to listening and may prevent the nurse from picking up hidden messages, which could minimizing minimize misunderstandings if perceived.

Answer to Question 2

B
False imprisonment involves holding a competent person against his or her will. Actual force is not a requirement of false imprisonment. The individual needs only to be placed in fear of imprisonment by someone who has the ability to carry out the threat. If a patient is not competent (confused), the nurse should act with beneficence. Patients admitted involuntarily should not be allowed to leave without permission of the treatment team.

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.
