Answer to Question 1

C
The pleura is the transparent membrane covering the lungs.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The nurse should give the client a bag bath because it will save time, which is important since seizures could occur at any time. A bag bath involves the use of a commercially packaged kit with 8 to 10 premoistened, disposable cloths in a plastic bag or container and is another form of a bed bath. The nurse should not give a bed bath as it takes longer than the bag bath and requires assistance from the client. A shower would be a safety risk due to the client's risk of seizures. A tub bath is not recommended as it can be dangerous for a client with seizures to be left alone in the bathroom.

Answer to Question 3

A
Feedback:
The nurse should tell the client to remove and store the dentures in water in a covered cup. The nurse should tell the client to clean the dentures and removable bridges with a toothbrush, toothpaste, and cold or tepid waternot hot waterto prevent damage. The nurse should not tell the client to clean dentures with a tissue or to keep them wrapped in a tissue as the tissue can stick to the dentures, leading to possible contamination and transfer of microorganisms.

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.
