The LPN/LVN has the accountability to uphold clinical standards, educate patients, communi-cate effectively, and collaborate with the health care team. Depending on the type of facility, in-itiation of a care plan is often the role of the registered nurse.

Answer to Question 2

The drug should be stopped immediately so that the patient does not receive any more of the me-dication. After completing this priority intervention, the nurse should then obtain the patient's vital signs, report all findings to the charge nurse, and administer the prescribed antihistamine.

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.
