Answer to Question 1

1,2,3,5
Rationale: All facilities are required to either check the client's chart or ask clients whether they have advance directives.

Answer to Question 2

1,2,5
Rationale: Use of pictures and charts, if applicable to the topic, is of particular value when teaching a client who speaks a different language, because pictures and charts can be interpreted by the client no matter what language is spoken. It is important to assess the client's comfort when discussing hygiene because some cultures find it inappropriate for a woman to discuss personal topics with a man who is not her father or husband. An interpreter is essential in providing understandable information. Smiling and nodding do not necessarily indicate understanding, and must be assessed by the nurse. A client who does not speak any English will not be helped by even the most basic English.

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.
