Answer to Question 1

1. I will get the pneumococcal vaccine every fall..

Rationale:
The pneumococcal vaccine is administered once. Revaccination is only recommended in persons with renal failure, those who have had splenectomies, those with malignancies, and those with HIV/AIDS. Influenza vaccine is administered annually to healthy individuals and should not be given to those with an allergy to eggs.

Answer to Question 2

4. Perform chest percussion

Rationale:
Chest percussion can help clear secretions. Providing education for smoking cessation and administering the pneumococcal vaccine are important in treating a client with pneumonia; however, they would be aligned with a different nursing diagnosis. Clients with pneumonia are encouraged to increase fluid intake.
