Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The only appropriate lifestyle modification among these options is smoking cessation. Hypercholesterolemi a can be caused by a high-fat diet; therefore, a high-fat diet should be avoided. Exercise is usually recommended, not contraindicated. The patient should continue blood pressure medications. In this question, the nurse is using the aspect of evaluation in clinical care coordination.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The identified problem is lack of staff communication. Therefore, the answer pertaining to communication is the correct answer. Staff communication is a challenge for managers, but using a variety of approaches can help. Sending an e-mail was not effective; therefore, giving each staff member a hard copy along with e-mailing is another approach the manager can take. Including the findings on evaluations, closing the lounge, and enforcing stricter dress codes do not address the problem and offer a proposed solution. An effective nurse manager uses a variety of approaches to communicate quickly and accurately with all staff.

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.
