Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
If there is a normal mixture of oxygen and other gases in the environment, the oxygen analyzer will indicate 0.21 (21). An oxygen analyzer is a device that measures the percentage of delivered oxygen to determine whether the client is receiving the amount prescribed by the physician. The nurse or respiratory therapist first checks the percentage of oxygen in the room air with the analyzer. If there is a normal mixture of oxygen and other gases in the environment, the analyzer indicates 0.21 (21). When the analyzer is positioned near or within the device used to deliver oxygen, the reading should register at the prescribed amount (>0.21).

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The client's assessment of pain, based on a pain rating, is the most appropriate assessment data. The pain is rated on a 1 to 10 scale and nursing actions are then implemented to reduce the pain. The nurse's impression of pain and nonverbal clues are subjective data. Pain relief after nursing intervention is appropriate, but is a part of evaluation.

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.
