Answer to Question 1

2. Intermittent straight catheterization

Rationale:
The doctor may order straight catheterization so the client can be taught to self catheterize and manage the problem at home. Anticholinergic medications can cause urinary retention. Bladder stones are not the problem; scarring is. Antibiotic therapy is not indicated as the client does not have an infection now.

Answer to Question 2

1. Antidysrhythmic medications have many side effects; cardioversion is considered safer..

Rationale:
Antidysrhythmic medications can cause serious side effects and are normally reserved for clients with overt symptoms or for clients whose condition cannot be controlled by other means, such as cardioversion. Medications are effective for dysrhythmias; however they have many side effects. There is no need for a special diet when a client is taking an antidysrhythmic drug. Antidysrhythmic drugs do not commonly cause seizures.

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.
