Answer to Question 1

C
Discharge planning begins with admission to the hospital. This is especially true in the case of the surgical patient. The nurse may be the first person to identify patient and family needs that require special planning early in the stay with a plan for later discharge.

Answer to Question 2

B
Once pain control is achieved, activity level should be addressed. There are complications associated with prolonged bed rest, so it is important for postoperative care personnel to assist the patient in achieving the ordered levels of activity.

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.
