Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Have the patient repeat information back, show a procedure, or follow up on a behavior to determine how well the material has been learned. Return demonstration or discussion is the only way to measure a patient's understanding.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
You must use good judgment in carrying out a medication order. If, in your judgment, there has been a change in the patient's condition that raises concerns about whether a medication should be given, it should be withheld (not given) until your concerns can be answered by the patient's physician.

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.

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.
