Answer to Question 1

3
The most common cause of premature junctional complexes is digitalis toxicity. The nurse should check on the client's serum digoxin level. Oxygen, intravenous fluids, or position changes will not help treat this rhythm.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3, 4, 6
Risks of anesthesia include adverse reaction to the anesthetic, nausea and vomiting, sore throat, seizure, myocardial infarction, hypothermia, malignant hyperthermia, numbness or loss of function of a body part, and disseminated intravascular coagulation. Surgical wound infection is not a risk associated with anesthesia.

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.
