Answer to Question 1

B
Increased respiratory distress will require immediate intervention. The other symptoms are those normally found in the presence of croup. Improving symptoms are not a source for concern.

Answer to Question 2

B

Feedback
A Incorrect: When the nurse is trying to treat a child's edema that is due to an allergic reaction, the nurse can reduce blood hydrostatic pressure through decreasing capillary blood flow by applying cold compresses.
B Correct: When the nurse is trying to treat a child's edema that is due to an allergic reaction, the nurse can reduce blood hydrostatic pressure through decreasing capillary blood flow not by applying warm compresses. Warm compresses will increase capillary blood flow by dilating the capillaries.
C Incorrect: Restriction of fluids will not reduce blood hydrostatic pressure by decreasing capillary blood flow.
D Incorrect: Restriction of sodium would only be appropriate if the edema resulted from sodium retention by the kidneys. That is not the case with an allergic reaction

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.
