Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, E
The patient's verbalization is consistent with spiritual distress. Moreover, the patient's description of being unable to provide for and burdening the family suggests ineffective role performance. No data support diagnoses of adult failure to thrive, impaired social interaction, or decisional conflict.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, E
No chronic disease explains the symptoms for patients with complex somatic system disorder. Patients report multiple symptoms; and gastrointestinal, sexual, and pseudoneurological symptoms are common. This disorder is more common is women than in men.

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.
