Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

The family should be given the option to stay or leave. If the family chooses to stay, a staff member should stay by them and explain what is happening, to avoid misinterpretation. Some family members might choose to stay, whereas others will choose to leave, but there is no reason they cannot remain if they so choose.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

The method preferred in the hospital would be using a bag-valve-mask device after placing an oropharyngeal airway to maintain an open airway. Other methods can be used if the bag-valve-mask device and/or airway is not available.

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.
