Answer to Question 1

C
Because ibuprofen is not a chemical that causes physical dependency, this client is experiencing psychological tolerance. Physical tolerance occurs when an individual's body has adjusted to living and functioning with the substance in the system; substance dependency refers to the need to take a substance to prevent withdrawal symptoms; and early stage addiction is characterized by an individual who is enjoying the effects of the substance.

Answer to Question 2

B
Assessment is the phase of the nursing process during which data collection occurs. It is performed not only upon admission into a facility but throughout the care of the client. Evaluation is the phase during which goals are evaluated to determine whether they have been met, partially met, or not met at all; intervention is the phase of the nursing process when planned interventions are actually implemented; planning is the phase of the nursing process when client goals are set and interventions are planned.

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.
