Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1, 2, 4
Explanation: The ANA advances the nursing profession by fostering high standards of nursing practice. The APNA is the only professional nursing organization that focuses on all levels of psychiatric nursing. The American Psychiatric Association is an organization of psychiatrists, not nurses. The North American Nursing Diagnosis Association International provides approved nursing diagnoses. The American Psychological Association is an organization of psychologists.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Explanation: Taking a course does not focus on collaborative efforts. Although nurse-mentoring is a leadership activity, it does not necessarily contribute to collaboration. Leading an interdisciplinary team demonstrates both leadership and collaboration. Volunteering for extra shifts does not comply with the IOM recommendation.

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.
