Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Cognitive theory suggests that one's thought processes are the basis of emotions and behavior.
Changing faulty learning makes development of new adaptive behaviors possible. Option A would
be used in psychoanalytically oriented therapy. Option B is an intervention associated with
biological therapy. Option D is not an appropriate intervention. Medical diagnosis is the prerogative
of the medical practitioner or advanced practice registered nurse.

Answer to Question 2

D
The client's history supports this nursing diagnosis. Options A, B, and C: Data are not present that
the client uses laxatives, induces vomiting, or exercises excessively.

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.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
