Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4
Explanation: Therapeutic communication with patients experiencing spiritual confusion would include encouraging patients to explore their beliefs and find meaning in them, as well as offer the option for additional discussion with a clergyman. Leaving the patient to get a clergyman avoids the patient's need and does not demonstrate therapeutic communication. Imposing one's own beliefs or expressing judgments blocks further communication.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4
Explanation: The therapeutic response to a patient's statement of irritability and rage is validate the patient's experience. Leaving or calling the supervisor does not provide a therapeutic interaction. Judgment about the patient's anger is an obstacle to therapeutic engagement.

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.
