Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Answer A addresses the impact of the diagnosis on the client's lifestyle and quality of life, concerns that are central to holistic nursing care. Answers B, C, and D address valid components of care for the client, but are less indicative of a holistic approach.

Answer to Question 2

B, D, E
Feedback:
Calcium and proteins, along with a balanced diet, will assist in the development of musculoskeletal health. The target heart rate is 65 to 80 of maximum heart rate; not all persons require PROM, but only those who are unable to move independently.

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.
