Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The nurse should inform the client that older adulthood becomes an opportunity for choosing modes of living more freely than before and that her mother's behavior is normal. The client does not need to explain to the mother the client's social responsibilities, try to force the mother to revert to following a routine, or send her to an assisted living facility.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The nurse should ensure that the activities taken up by older client should bring joy and happiness. Some examples of the retirement activities that the nurse could encourage are consulting, traveling, and spending time with family members; and volunteerism and educational opportunities. Spending time at retirement daycare homes does not encourage independence.

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.
