Answer to Question 1

B
Increasing body hydration will help replace body fluids, including cerebrospinal fluids. Placing the client in a semi-Fowler's position will aggravate the headache. Caffeine is used to treat these types of headaches. Keeping the client in a darkened room will not impact on these types of headaches.

Answer to Question 2

B

Feedback
A The transition period is the phase between intrauterine and extrauterine existence.
B The first period of reactivity is the first phase of transition and lasts up to 30 minutes after birth. The infant is highly alert during this phase.
C There is no such phase.
D The second period of reactivity occurs roughly between 4 and 8 hours after birth, after a period of prolonged sleep.

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.
