Answer to Question 1

A
Heart defects are categorized according to blood flow patterns: (1) increased pulmonary flow, (2) decreased pulmonary flow, (3) obstructed blood flow out of the heart, and (4) mixed blood flow. The child's behavioral patterns, cardiac and respiratory function, fluid status, and growth and development should be assessed. Severe congenital heart defect can lead to the accumulation of fluids which can result in congestive heart failure.

Answer to Question 2

A
Contrary to common beliefs, most clients who are elderly are not in nursing homes. Only 10 to 40 of the population of older people will spend time in nursing homes. The number of people over the age of 65 in the years 2010 to 2030 will increase as these are the years the baby boomers will reach age 65.

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.
