A single woman who works from 3 to 11 PM as an aide in a nursing home was grabbed from behind
  by a man who put a gun to her head as she walked home. The attacker warned her not to scream or
  he would blow her head off..
 
  He put tape over her mouth, tied her hands, forced her into his car,
  took her to an isolated spot, and raped her. When found, she was confused and disoriented. A rescue

  collected and she received treatment. During the emergency room stay the client sobbed

Answer to Question 1

B
The expressed style includes such overt behaviors as crying, smiling, laughing, joking, restlessness,
agitation, hysteria, volatility, anger, confusion, incoherence, disorientation, and tenseness. Option A:
The controlled style involves confusion, incoherence, expressionless face, calm, subdued
appearance, shock, numbness, and difficulty making decisions. Option C: There is no suicidal
rape-trauma coping style. Option D: Somatic reactions involve physical symptoms such as
headaches, sleep disturbances, and gastrointestinal symptoms.

Answer to Question 2

ANS:
B, C, D
Rationale: Options B, C, and D are helpful behaviors. Trust is fostered when the nurse introduces
herself and identifies her role. Facial expressions that convey interest and encouragement support the
nurse's verbal statements to that effect and strengthen the message. An open body posture conveys
openness to listening to what the client has to say. Mirror imaging enhances client comfort. Option
A: The desk places a physical barrier between the nurse and client. A face-to-face stance should be
avoided when possible and a less intense 90- or 120-degree angle used to permit either party to look
away without discomfort. Option E: Once introductions have been accomplished the nurse should
turn the interview over to the client by using an open-ended question such as Where should we
start?

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.
