Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Use of an incentive spirometer helps to prevent atelectasis after lung surgery. Atelectasis is a condition of a potentially collapsed lung caused by obstruction by mucus or a foreign object. The client need not use the straw to blow slowly; it is important for the client to inhale deeply rather than exhale by blowing. Peak flow meter is used to determine lung function by showing how fast a person can exhale after deep inhalation. Wound-suction devices help to remove drainage from wounds by suctioning them. Use of straw, peak flow meters, or wound-suction devices does not help to prevent atelectasis.

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.
