Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

The term equianalgesia refers to the relative potency of various opioid analgesics compared to a standard dose of parenteral morphine (gold standard opioid). This tool helps professionals individualize the analgesic regimen by guiding the adjustment of medication, dose, time interval, and route of administration. Polypharmacy is a generic term for multiple medication administration, often used with elders who are on many medications. Analgesia is a classification of medication used for pain control. Dose-reduction pharmacology is not a real term.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
During a pain history, it is the client's description of the pain that is most important, not the significant other's. The nurse should determine all of the other factors in order to put a plan of care in place that will help the client address and treat the pain effectively.

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.
