Answer to Question 1

D
Regardless of the situation, the fundamental principle underlying all interventions with agitated, escalating, hostile, aggressive, or violent patients is to use the least restrictive measure that will provide for the safety of everyone involved. The other options either should not guide practice or are of secondary importance.

When caregivers communicate what is expected, clients commonly meet those expectations.

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.
