Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
An open-ended question is usually just the introduction, requiring further dialogue about relevant topics. Ending the dialogue with a general open-ended question such as, Is there anything else that is concerning you right now? can provide relevant information that might otherwise be overlooked. Asking a focused question allows the interviewer to obtain more specific information. Who is the most significant person in your life is a closed-ended question that is limiting. A silent pause can be helpful, but long silences can become uncomfortable.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Listening for themes requires observing and understanding what the client is not saying, as well as what the person actually reveals. Identifying the underlying themes presented in a therapeutic conversation can relieve anxiety and provide direction for individualized nursing interventions. Speaking to a supervisor, explaining that nurses communicate with other clients during the night, and telling the night nurse of the complaint are actions by the nurse, not identification of themes.

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.
