Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

Scissors, knives, and other sharp objects should be out of the reach of young children. Parents should not permit preschool-age children to light fireworks. Eye protection should be worn when participating in sports that lead to eye injury, such as baseball or tennis. Keep household products with harmful chemicals and solutions out of reach of young children.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

Adults who work outdoors and fail to wear protective gear can develop an injury to the eye. The nurse should instruct the client to wear protective glasses or goggles when firefighting. Irrigating the eyes with warm water, using artificial tears, or applying warm soaks will not prevent an injury to the eye.

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.
