Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. A developmental crisis is viewed as a normal transition point where old patterns of communication and old roles must be exchanged for new patterns and roles. Every family experiences developmental crisis points, whether or not a crisis is actually experienced. Examples of transition periods when developmental crises may occur include marriage. Examples of situational crises (when the family experiences an event that is sudden, unexpected, and unpredictable) are illness, accidents, death, and natural disasters.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. Safety education is an approach to injury prevention with families. Population health nurses can educate family members regarding the need for adequate nutrition, rest, and physical activity to promote health. Illness prevention may include teaching effective hygiene, referral for immunization, or advocating for access to safe water and food supplies as well as other interventions. Problem-resolution activities with families may be aimed at assisting families to obtain needed care for existing health problems or helping families to deal with these 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.
