Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
Involvement currently refers to promoting the self-efficacy of the client through engagement. Involvement does not necessarily require the inclusion of many different disciplines or the client's friends and family, though these are not incompatible with the concept of involvement. Explaining the evidence for interventions may sometimes be appropriate, but this is not the essence of the concept of involvement.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
Scheduled environmental tours or walk-arounds of the unit help establish a safe inpatient environment. Nurses continually assess all unit spaces for objects clients might use to harm themselves or others. Safety is the priority over the other listed focuses of observation.

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.
