Answer to Question 1

Answer: A, B, C, E

Pregnant women, particularly during the second and third trimesters, are at increased risk of complications. People at increased risk of influenza or its complications include infants, young children, and anyone age 50 or older. Patients with chronic disorders, especially diabetes and cardiac, renal, or pulmonary diseases, are more susceptible as well. The annual flu vaccination is recommended for all healthcare workers. A 35-year-old man with a severe allergy to eggs should not get a flu shot, because the vaccine contains eggs and it is not recommended.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B, C, D, E

The client with RA should never attempt to push a joint beyond its ability. Writing requires using a strong grip, so typing is preferable. Using a stronger joint or part of the body, such as the palm, to carry items is preferable to grasping. Pain is a warning signal, and the client with RA should stop any activity that causes pain. When performing a task, the client should avoid stress in the area of the deformity to help prevent further deformities.
