Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The nurse should monitor the older adult client's blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine before and after any procedure that uses dye. The aging population is at increased risk for kidney damage, and the nurse should promptly report any elevations in BUN and creatinine values.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
A common cause of skin breakdown is shearing force caused by clothing, bed linens, or client safety devices. Immobility and low level of activity can occur as a result of lying/sitting in one position for extended periods of time and paralysis. Presence of external moisture can result from perspiration, urine, and feces. Sensory loss is a cause of skin breakdown.

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.
