Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
The psychological benefit of humor includes decrease of fears, anxiety, negative emotions, and stress and tension. 1. Humor may lessen, but will not entirely eradicate, negative emotions. 2. Humor is more likely to increase alertness. 3. The goal is to laugh with others, not at them.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
This response encourages the client to discuss and explore her options so that she can make a de-cision. Options 1 and 3 subtly suggest the nurse may not be in favor of the client seeking a di-vorce. Option 2 changes the focus from divorce to pregnancy termination.

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.
