Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, D, E
Family systems theory considers family boundaries (how the family interacts with the outside world) and looks at interaction among all the members, as the family unit itself is considered more important than the individuals within it. Boundaries can also be assessed in part by determining if there are family secrets or taboos (closed boundaries) or if information is shared too freely (open boundaries). Developmental stages of the family are not considered in family systems theory, but are part of Duvall's family developmental stages and theory.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, D, E
The patient's family should be welcomed into nursing experiences. The family is a rich source of support and information about the patient. The patient will have to reintegrate into the family upon discharge. The patient's family represents the context from which he or she comes. Families may or may not have to assume the caregiving role. It is stereotypical to assume that families will interfere in patient care.

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.
