Answer to Question 1

2. Congratulations, but you will need to stop taking your medication..

Rationale:
Medications that are Pregnancy Category X drugs will be present in male sperm and can damage the fetus. Not touching the medication is important, but it is still contained in the sperm, and will damage the fetus. It is inappropriate to tell a client that his wife cannot become pregnant; all he needs to do is stop the medication. The nurse can answer this question; it does not need to be referred to the physician.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4

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.
