Answer to Question 1

B
The student's behavior is not considered a formal style of interaction. Touching the client and using the client's first name is considered by many to be very informal. In some cultures doing so in a professional environment could be considered extremely rude. The student nurse should be advised on what would be considered a more appropriate style of interaction between the nurse and a client from this culture.

Answer to Question 2

C
Interpersonal difficulties are a central problem for people who have personality disorders. It is not surprising then that these interpersonal difficulties would extend to the relationship the client has with the nurse as well. Difficulties in establishing a nurse-client relationship, disagreements among treatment staff, reluctance on the part of the nurse to provide care, and difficulty accomplishing treatment objectives are common complaints when dealing with clients who have personality disorders.

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.
