Feedback
A Incorrect: Working with school-aged children, the nurse recognizes they may have preconceived ideas about pain and fears about surgery; but, the abstract thought that the medication will not be strong enough is not an issue for this age group.
B Incorrect: Working with school-aged children, the nurse recognizes they may have preconceived ideas about pain and fears about surgery; but, the fear that the nurse will spend too much time with them is not an issue for this age group.
C Correct: School-aged children have many body image concerns and some fear their insides will leak out after injections or surgery. Covering all wounds can decrease their anxiety and help decrease their pain perception.
D Incorrect: Working with school-aged children, the nurse recognizes they may have preconceived ideas about pain and fears about surgery; but, the fear that their classmates will get to have more fun and play more is not an issue for this age group.

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.
