Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, D
Important nursing assessment of a musculoskeletal injury includes mechanism of injury, degree of impairment, pain level, and obvious deformity and neurovascular assessment. Elevating the affected extremity would exacerbate the pain and deformity of the injury.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, D, E
Patients with hepatic disease, pulmonary disease, renal disease, and neurologic disorders such as myasthenia gravis, spinal cord injury, or MS must be fully evaluated to assess their ability to tolerate neuromuscular-blocking agents. Neuromuscular-blocking agents can usually be used safely with the pregnant patient and the psychiatric patient.

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.
