Answer to Question 1

b

a. Incorrect: The nurse has not promoted a scenario in which nurses will continue to complain about all of the equipment they would like to see improved. She has demonstrated ethical practice because she has reported a situation in which patient care could be compromised if the faulty equipment is not replaced.
b. Correct: The nurse manager has demonstrated ethical practice in the workplace.
c. Incorrect: The nurse has promoted ethical behaviour to ensure patient safety.
d. Incorrect: The nurse has promoted ethical behaviour to ensure patient safety. In this case, the request may impact the capital budget, but that is not what the nurse is promoting directly.

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.
