Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Milk, cream soup, and tomato juice are acceptable in a full liquid diet but not in a clear liquid diet. Tea is an acceptable component of a clear liquid diet.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
When combining more than one drug in a single syringe, the nurse should take exact amounts from each drug container because once the drugs are in the barrel of the syringe, there is no way to expel one without expelling the other. It is unnecessary to shake the syringe for 30 seconds or to use two injection sites. The two drugs would not be combining in a third, separate container before being drawn up.

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.
