Answer to Question 1

D
Within a community nursing center, the role of the nurse is to treat patients' responses to health problems and promote health and wellness. Promoting comfort and pain relief measures is the role of a hospice nurse. Serving as a case manager is the role of the nurse within a managed care organization. Performing assessments and providing emergency care is a role of a nurse within a rural primary care hospital.

Answer to Question 2

C
Sterilization is the total elimination of all microorganisms, including spores. Disinfection is the elimination of pathogens except spores from inanimate objects. A germicide is a chemical that can be applied to both animate and inanimate objects for the purpose of eliminating pathogens. Medical asepsis uses practices to reduce the number, growth, and spread of microorganisms. Medical asepsis is also referred to as clean technique.. Objects are generally referred to as clean or dirty in medical asepsis. Clean objects are considered to have some microorganisms that are not pathogenic. Dirty objects are considered to have a high number of microorganisms, some that are potentially pathogenic. Common medical aseptic measures used for clean or dirty objects are handwashing, gloving, changing linens daily, and cleaning floors and hospital furniture daily.

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.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
