Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback
A Weight gain results from retention of water when there is an excessive
production of antidiuretic hormone; in diabetes insipidus there is a decreased
production of antidiuretic hormone.
B Concentrated urine is a sign of the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic
hormone (SIADH), in which there is an excessive production of antidiuretic
hormone.
C The deficiency of antidiuretic hormone associated with diabetes insipidus causes
the body to excrete large volumes of dilute urine.
D A deficiency of antidiuretic hormone, as with diabetes insipidus, results in an
increased serum sodium concentration (greater than 145 mEq/L).

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The patient may be from a culture where it is inappropriate to respond to pain. The nurse needs to objectively assess the patient's level of pain before implementing nonpharmacologic or pharmacologic pain management measures. Offering to provide a back rub may or may not be desired by the patient. Discussing pain control measures with the physician may be premature. Doing nothing unless the patient asks for pain medication is inappropriate, considering the patient is in the second stage of labor.

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.
