Answer to Question 1

B
Decreased cardiac output occurs when the left ventricle does not eject sufficient blood volume to the system. When a patient suffers an acute myocardial infarction (AMI), coronary arteries do not supply sufficient blood to the myocardium. When a patient suffers from an AMI, the patient usually presents with severe chest pain, breathlessness, diaphoresis, and hypotension.

Answer to Question 2

D
Knowledge regarding developmental stage will help the nurse to determine responses that are important to the patient. A change in behavior suggests an alteration in self-concept.

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.
