Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Functional incontinence results from physical, environmental, or psychosocial causes. Impaired mobility is one such cause. Urge incontinence occurs when the patient must void immediately when the urge is perceived. Stress incontinence is the result of coughing or laughing. Total incontinence is the loss of all voluntary control over urination and urine loss occurring without stimulus and in all positions.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Overfilling the collection bag can damage the seal, allowing leakage and contact of urine with the skin. The urine collection device is changed as needed. Teaching self-catheterization technique is not an appropriate intervention for this problem. Monitoring for foul-smelling urine does not help with the risk for impaired skin integrity.

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.
