Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Examining one's own feelings regarding a client who engages in behaviors that are outside the nurse's behavior norms promotes self-awareness and acceptance of deviance, which then allows the nurse to respond with compassion and maintain empathy when meeting the client for the first time. Asking for guidance or reviewing the literature before examining one's feelings indicates that the nurse is unaware or uncomfortable with feelings and relies on others for guidance. Ignoring how one's self-view might be challenged by a patient situation indicates the nurse is not able to confront how the diversity of client behaviors or experiences impacts the quality and nature of the nurse's relationships with others.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: The Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites Accreditation Program can be used to see if a pharmacy is accredited and thus a reputable source. The cost of a medication does not verify its authenticity; a drug that costs more is not necessarily better than a drug that costs less and vice versa. It would be too risky for a person to try a medication to test whether or not it is counterfeit.

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.
