Answer to Question 1

B
A priority for the nurse intervening with a client in a state of panic is to determine the precipitating event for the panic. The nurse's initial assessment would not focus on the client's psychiatric history or involve talking with the family. In addition, a care plan is not developed until the assessment is complete and a nursing diagnosis is made.

Answer to Question 2

B
Stimulants given to children for the treatment of ADHD are usually started at a low dose and adjusted weekly. While stimulants address the problems associated with ADHD, some have side effects that can cause the child distress. The slow increase allows the physician to identify the dose that the child can tolerate.

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.
