Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
An anticholinergic medication decreases respiratory secretions and prevents vagal nerve stimulation during endotracheal intubation. Antianxiety drugs slow down motor activity and promote the induction of anesthesia. Histamine-2 receptor antagonists decrease gastric acidity and volume. Sedatives promote sleep or conscious sedation.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Language barriers do not justify omitting health teaching. In most cases, if neither the nurse nor the client speaks a compatible language, a translator or acceptable alternative is needed. It would be inappropriate to limit teaching to nonverbal communication or a web site address. Client education should not be delegated to the pharmacist.

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.
