Answer to Question 1

D
The cilia in the fallopian tubes assist to move the ovum along the path toward the uterus.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The nurse should encourage the caregiver to identify volunteers who will care for the client and allow the primary caregiver to enjoy brief periods away from home, as caring for the client can be very stressful. Arranging for home nursing visits and securing home equipment are all activities performed by the nurse caring for the client in home care but are not related to respite care. It would be uncaring to emphasize the client's need to care for himself or herself independently.

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.
