Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Korotkoff sounds have five unique phases. Phase I begins with the first faint but clear tapping sound that follows a period of silence as pressure is released from the cuff. When the first sound occurs, it corresponds to the peak pressure in the arterial system during heart contraction, or the systolic pressure measurement. This sound does not have the two-stage sound of a heartbeat.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The client has fecal impaction because the large, hardened mass of stool is interfering with defecation. Iatrogenic constipation occurs as a consequence of other medical treatment. Secondary constipation is a consequence of a pathologic disorder. Fecal incontinence is the inability to control the elimination of stool.

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.
