Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. Some diseases do not produce immunity and reinfection is possible and even likely if clients do not change risk behaviors. Clients may be reinfected with gonorrhea as a result of continued unprotected sexual activity. The other statements indicate that teaching has been effective for this client.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1, 3, 4
Explanation: 1. Updated tetanus vaccination is particularly recommended for persons with diabetes, injection drug users (IDUs), and those over 65 years of age, who may never have been immunized. Smoking history and pacemaker insertion does not increase the risk of tetanus.
3. Updated tetanus vaccination is particularly recommended for persons with diabetes, injection drug users (IDUs), and those over 65 years of age, who may never have been immunized. Smoking history and pacemaker insertion does not increase the risk of tetanus.
