Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Bones are classified according to shape and composition. Long bones include the femur and humerus; short bones include the carpals and tarsals; flat bones include the parietal skull bone and sternum; and irregular bones include the vertebrae and hips.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
The nurse should ask questions in a manner to place the client at ease. The questions should ideally be gender neutral. It is more important to find out about the sexual activity than the birth control initially. Asking specifically about boys may limit the client's response. Clients may feel they do not need birth control Asking about the attraction to the opposite sex may appear judgmental to the client.

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.
