Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1
Explanation: Research shows serious weight gain issues for patients using olanzapine and the need for aggressive management of symptoms with diet and nutritional education interventions. Vital signs, physical competence, or anxiety will not need to be followed to help manage care.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: Tell me what you are hearing right now is an open statement that invites the patient to describe what the patient is experiencing to the nurse. The nurse does not presume to know what the patient is experiencing. Tell me, are you hearing voices again? is a close-ended question that invites only a year or no answer and assumes the patient is hearing voices. You need to attend the next recreation group. That will help you ignore the voices does not ask for an explanation of the patient's experiences and implies that a patient can ignore voices. You are safe from the Mafia here in the hospital does not ask for an explanation of the patient's experiences and may not be addressing the patient's needs at this time.

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.
