Answer to Question 1

B, C, D, E
When working to sustain evidence-based practice, strategies are needed to hardwire the work into the organizational system. One strategy to promote integration of an evidence-based practice is to incorporate the evidence-based practice into organizational policies and procedures. Linking quality improvement and evidence-based practice is another strategy for building a strong orga-nizational context. Successes need to be rewarded along the way. Celebrations help build a cul-ture that supports and expects the use of evidence in practice. Rewards should include formal recognition from high-level organizational leaders, visibility for the team and project champions, accessibility to practitioners within the organization, and a clear articulation of the benefits of evidence-based practice.

Answer to Question 2

B, D
It is possible that the nurse and nurse manager could be held negligent. The nurse could be held negligent for not moving the patient closer to the nurse's station, calling the physician or nurse practitioner for medications or change in medications, or obtaining an order for a vest restraint. The nurse manager may be held negligent because of 24-hour accountability for the care of pa-tients on his or her unit and possible lack of supervision.

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.
