Answer to Question 1

C
This is an example of the nurse allowing his or her personal values to cloud professional judgment and is an ineffective interview technique that leads to a negative nurseclient relationship. The other options are good interview techniques but do not represent this situation.

Answer to Question 2

B
Newly incarcerated prisoners are often in crisis and may be suicidal. Others may be mentally ill and experiencing relapse. Therefore, being able to quickly and skillfully assess for risk of suicide and violence is an essential skill for the corrections nurse. Documenting potential evidence may occur but is not typically the primary or priority role of a corrections nurse. Community resources and counseling are helpful but would not be a priority compared to risk assessment and reduction.

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.
