Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Recognizing triggers that may lead to illness helps the consumer manage the illness and promotes recovery. Examples of triggers are poor social skills, hopelessness, and poor symptom manage-ment. Relapse management does not include understanding the individual's personality, provid-ing crisis intervention, or using a holistic view of the system.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
To be therapeutic, the nurse must develop a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship with clients. Therefore, nurses must examine their own attitudes ahead of time. Working with clients who have addiction problems does not put the nurse at risk for violence. People with drug and alcohol addiction can be found in any neighborhood. Nurses do not treat addiction problems.

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.
