Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The urine appears dark amber in color due to dehydration. A reddish-brown urine sample is indicative of the presence of blood. Infection and stasis would cause the urine to appear cloudy.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Admission to a health care facility may temporarily deprive a person of his or her identity. Because clients are required to wear hospital gowns that tend to look alike, the client may be asserting his individual identity. Based on the client's history, it is less likely that he is preparing to leave AMA, is delirious or is unaware of hospital norms.

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.
