Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: Communication habits and mannerism can be identified using the method of taping, offering the nurse greater awareness of both verbal and nonverbal communication skills. The technique of process recording, not taping, offers a way for feedback to be provided on communication skills and dynamics when direct, not indirect, observation is not an option. Taping does not allow communication habits and mannerisms to be memorized.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1
Explanation: Therapeutic communication skills are used to foster the nurse-patient relationship in the psychiatric-mental health setting. Asking the patient, Why do you think you will never get well? is an example of requesting an explanation, which is not therapeutic and requires the patient to defend his or her actions. Asking how the patient feels about being discharged, what happened when medication was discontinued, or concerns about the patient's living situation are examples of therapeutic communication.

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.
