Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The nurse should mark the client's walker with a large, easily readable label to enable easy identification. The nurse need not provide the client with another walker during his stay at the facility, keep the walker in a locker until the client is discharged, or ask relatives to bring the walker only at the time of discharge.

D
Feedback:
It is best to have a second nurse's, supervisor's, or security person's signature along with the client's signature on the envelope containing secured valuables.

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.
