Answer to Question 1

A
Alzheimer's disease affects cognitive ability, so it is best to use words and phrases that do not require a great deal of thought to be understood. Having the client sit when she likes to pace may increase her anxiety and block communication. Repeat key words to assist in understanding; changing the key words may further confuse the client. Hand gestures may further confuse the troubled thought processes.

Answer to Question 2

B
The focused communications and concerned actions of caregivers help suicidal individuals to feel self-worth, which directly affects the treatment goals of the individual.

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.
