Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
When resources are scarce, a dilemma may exist as to how to allocate them. Considering estab-lishing a community health center may be a dilemma, but it probably does not involve ethics. Withdrawing care from a hospice patient would most likely not be an issue encountered by a public health nurse, as this represents community health nursing practice, not public health nurs-ing practice. Applying the principles of Florence Nightingale would not be ethical issue.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Florence Nightingale lived in the 1800s. The Code for Professional Nurses was adopted in 1950, the Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements was adopted in 2001, and the ICN Code of Ethics for Nurses was adopted in 2000.

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.
