Answer to Question 1

D
The desired outcome is that the client will be able to control the grandiose thinking associated with
acute mania as evidenced by making realistic comments about self, abilities, and plans. Options A
and C: Clients with acute mania are already unduly optimistic as a result of their use of denial, and
they are overly interested in their environment. Option B: Uncompromised sleep is a desired
outcome but is not related to distorted thought processes.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Reporting the client's statements is necessary. Investigation will determine whether the client's
accusation is reliable. The agency chain of command should be used for reporting.

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.
