A 3-year-old who has suffered a bee sting on the foot is screaming and cannot be consoled. The patient's response indicates that
 
  1. The child lacks previous remembered experience with pain and is frightened.
  2. The bee sting is extremely painful.
  3. There may be something wrong in addition to the bee sting, because bee stings do not usually hurt this much.
  4. The child has suffered bee stings or similar injuries before and is expressing the remembered pain, as well as responding to current discomfort.

Question 2

A patient asks the nurse, Why has my primary care physician ordered an antidepressant for me? I'm not depressed. I'm just in pain. The nurse could appropriately explain:
 
  1. It was ordered because it is known to potentiate the pain medication that you are taking.
  2. Anyone who is suffering from pain will eventually begin to suffer from depression, so your physician wants to prevent that.
  3. Everyone experiences depression at one time or another.
  4. I guess your primary care physician must have misunderstood you. I'll talk to the physician later.

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.
