Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
The family is aware of the client's past experiences and accomplishments. Thus, the nurse should allow for the involvement of support people, particularly family.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, B
Feedback:
The client crying in pain one day after surgery would be expected and lead to a nursing diagnosis of Acute Pain. Although the client likely experiences pain from the past back surgery and osteoarthritis, it would not support the diagnosis of Acute Pain. The smoking history does not support the diagnosis.

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.
