Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Code blue or Dr. Blue are common signals for a cardiopulmonary emergency. Codes red, yellow, and green are common codes used for other types of emergencies in various healthcare facilities.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The potential complication of administering oxygen in high concentration over many days is retinal damage in newborns. Oxygen therapy is used to treat thermal burns and does not cause thermal burns. The nurse should check for increased pulse, not decreased pulse, during oxygen therapy. Nares may become dry and irritated when the client is receiving oxygen with the nasal cannula, not through a mask.

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.
