Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Provision of intermittent skilled visits is a component of home health care nursing. Custodial care refers to the care given in long-term care facilities. Family caregiving may be an important role of keeping the client at home, but it is not a necessary component of home care. Palliative care is an extended continuum of chronic serious illness to acute serious illness during which stabilization and exacerbations may occur.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Cultures vary in their beliefs and responses to death. Nurses should know the differences in cul-tural responses so that they can effectively help people in their time of need. It will be important for the nurse to take cues from the client and the loved ones regarding their needs. The stress ex-perienced by dying patients is different based on the client's culture.

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.
