Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
The teenager is experiencing cultural change. This often occurs when a person changes upon coming into contact with new beliefs and ideas. Culture shock is a stress response that involves being unable to comprehend the culture that one is immersed in. Viewing one's own culture as the only correct standard by which to view people of other cultures is ethnocentrism. Cultural relativity refers to an understanding that cultures relate differently to the same given situations.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
While the physician will convey expectations of the nurse's role, the nurse presently working will be the key informant for the newly employed nurse. The key informant is the person who has an especially rich base of cultural knowledge, is reflective, willing to share their views, and is able to articulate her culture; in this case the responsibilities of a nurse in this setting. The office manager and unlicensed assistive personnel, while employed in this office longer, will have different roles in this office culture than will the nurse.

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.
