Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Because of estrogen-mediated changes in the perineal area of postmenopausal women, the urinary meatus may be very difficult to visualize. The side-lying position, lifting up the buttock, is an alternative that provides better visualization of the urinary meatus. The supine position, regardless of the leg position or height of the bed, would not increase the visualization of the urinary meatus because it is more distal from the changes in the perineal area.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A, C, D

Appropriate nursing diagnoses to include in the infant's plan of care include deficient fluid volume due to poor intake and vomiting; sleep pattern disturbance related to the discomfort and hunger; parental anxiety related to the need for surgical correction; and imbalanced nutrition, less than body requirements due to inadequate intake and vomiting. Jaundice is not a clinical manifestation of pyloric stenosis.

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.
