Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback
A Positioning the patient with the bed flat and the patient's arms to the sides would not best facilitate a patent airway.
B The patient's neck should not be flexed, as this may occlude the airway.
C In the postanaesthetic patient, the tongue causes a majority of airway obstructions. Ongoing assessment of airway patency is crucial. Patients are often kept in side-lying positions until the airway is clear.
D This is not the best position to promote respirations. The patient's arms should never be positioned over or across the chest, because this reduces maximal chest expansion.

Answer to Question 2

B

Feedback
A Being unable to complete bathing and grooming are not defining characteristics for the nursing diagnosis of Powerlessness.
B The patient who is unable to complete bathing and grooming independently has a nursing diagnosis of Self-care deficit.
C Being unable to complete bathing and grooming are not defining characteristics for the nursing diagnosis of Tissue integrity impairment.
D There is no indication that this patient has a Knowledge deficit of hygiene practices.

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.
