Answer to Question 1

D
Imbalanced nutrition: Less than body requirements related to malabsorption is the highest priority nursing diagnosis because celiac disease causes gluten enteropathy, a malabsorption condition. The pain associated with celiac disease is associated with diarrhea, not constipation. Celiac disease causes altered growth and development associated with malnutrition, not obesity. Celiac crisis causes fluid volume deficit.

Answer to Question 2

B
The child with cirrhosis must be assessed for encephalopathy, which is characterized by a change in level of consciousness. Encephalopathy can result from a buildup of ammonia in the blood from the incomplete breakdown of protein. One complication of cirrhosis is ascites. The child needs to be assessed for increasing abdominal girth and edema. A child who is retaining fluid will not exhibit weight loss. Biliary obstruction can lead to intense pruritus. The skin will be irritated from frequent scratching. A skin assessment would likely reveal jaundice. Pallor and cyanosis are associated with a cardiac problem.

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.
