Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,3,5

Rationale: Statements that the nurse educator will include in the in-service include: the lungs are responsible for excreting excess carbonic acid from body; the kidneys form bicarbonate if needed to restore balance; and the liver synthesizes proteins needed to maintain osmotic pressure in the fluid compartments. The kidneys, not the lungs, reabsorb filtered bicarbonate. The kidneys, not the liver, form bicarbonate to restore balance, if needed.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: An 8-month-old who has just begun to inspect her own hand is delayed. The infant usually inspects her own hand beginning at 3 months. A 4-month-old with a social smile, a 12-month-old who stacks blocks, and a 7-month-old who picks up a raisin by raking are all showing appropriate visually related milestones.

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.

Before a vaccine is licensed in the USA, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviews it for safety and effectiveness. The CDC then reviews all studies again, as well as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians. Every lot of vaccine is tested before administration to the public, and the FDA regularly inspects vaccine manufacturers' facilities.
