Answer to Question 1

C
Patients with peripheral vascular disease or diabetes mellitus often require nail care from a specialist to reduce the risk of infection. Some agencies allow cutting of nails with a provider's order; however, most do not. Patients with diabetes do not soak hands and feet. Soaking increases the risk of infection because of maceration of the skin. When assessing the patient's feet, the nurse palpates the dorsalis pedis of the foot, not the brachial artery.

Answer to Question 2

D
Human growth and development is a complex pattern of movement that involves changes in biological, cognitive, and socioemotional processes. Cognitive processes comprise changes in intelligence, use of language, and development of thinking. Socioemotional processes consist of variations in personality, emotions, and relationships with others. Height and weight, development of gross and fine motor skills, and sexual maturation resulting from hormonal changes during puberty are examples of changes resulting from biological processes.

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.
