Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: Administering medication to the right patient should be checked by verifying the patient's ID and using any other appropriate method, e.g., verifying the patient's date of birth. The medication type, dosage, and time to be administered should be verified using the medication orders. Documentation should always include all essential information about the patient, the prescriber and the medication.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4
Explanation: All side effects must be recorded and reported, but those that the nurse should report immediately include altered mental status (such as decreased level of consciousness or delirium), hypersensitivity responses, changes in gastrointestinal function, and changes in personality or behavior.

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.
