Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

Generally, the more congruence there is between what was taught in nursing school and the way the new nurse is expected to practice, the more successful the socialization. Lack of congruence can impede socialization, not quicken it. It may also interfere with the quality of the nurse's practice.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4

Before Nightingale went to Crimea, the death rate was estimated at 43. In the course of six months of emphasis on environmental controls, the mortality rate dropped to 2. This represents a dramatic decrease in mortality.

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.
