Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

During special religious events Muslims participate in fasting during the daylight hours. The diabetic client who engages in fasting and the nurse providing care will face unique challenges. The lack of pork in the diet does not hinder dietary planning. Lamb and chicken provide adequate, healthful alternatives. The respect for elders in the family has no impact on the successful plan of care.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Ethnocentrism is the belief of one's personal beliefs to be superior to those held by others. The best manner in which to begin to manage and reduce these feelings is to begin the process of self-awareness. Simply reducing the comments and displays of frustration will not address the root cause of the problem. The underlying cause must be handled to resolve the issue. Administering a written reprimand will not handle the existing problem. Counseling and discipline may be warranted later in the process if the behaviors continue or worsen.

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.
