Answer to Question 1

D
The most common fears related to surgery are fear of the unknown, of pain and discomfort, of mutilation and disfigurement, of anesthesia, of disruption of life patterns, of death, and of not being in control. The one most easily addressed by nurses is the fear of the unknown. The nurse can provide clients with information about the surgical experience and offer appropriate support.

Answer to Question 2

C
A puerperal (postpartum period) infection in the mother would not be considered contagious; therefore, it poses no threat to the infant.

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.
