Answer to Question 1

ANS: a
Feedback
a. The nurse would expect to see a distended abdomen in a client with a paralytic ileus.
b. Polyuria is unrelated to a paralytic ileus.
c. Diastasis recti is unrelated to a paralytic ileus.
d. Dependent edema is unrelated to a paralytic ileus.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: c
Feedback
a. Explaining the reason she is having a cesarean birth is helpful but may not address their concerns.
b. It is important to acknowledge that the baby is stable, but this response does not allow the couple to share their concerns that may be causing an increase in anxiety.
c. By asking the couple to share their concerns, the nurse can address these concerns.
d. Reassuring the couple that the woman and baby are in no danger is correct, but it is not the best answer because it does not allow the couple to verbalize their concerns.

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.
