Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, D, E
Strategies to promote sleep for individuals in long term care and hospitals include allowing the resident to stay out of the bed and the room for as long as possible before bed, and not placing him/her in bed too early. Exposing individuals to sunlight for 30 minutes daily in a comfortable outdoor location is also helpful in promoting sleep. Limiting fluids and caffeine before bedtime is also helpful. Changing institutional routines to avoid waking residents for routine care and providing care when residents wake up are also successful strategies to promote sleep.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D
Normal age-related changes in older adults include a reduced total sleep time and sleep efficien-cy and shorter, less intense, and more evenly distributed REM sleep. Older adults tend to nap during the daytime. Sleep requirements do not decrease as one ages. Sleep tends to be objectively and subjectively lighter in older adults.

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.
