Answer to Question 1

D
Spiritual wellness reflects a person's relationships with self, others, nature, and a higher power. Spirituality involves finding meaning in everything and is a major force in healing. Spiritual needs include love, forgiveness, and hope. Nurses do not function as spiritual counselors to clients but, using a holistic approach, extend love, compassion, and empathy to them. Nurses can also encourage clients to address their own spiritual needs.

Answer to Question 2

C
Surgical asepsis is the use of sterile technique to eliminate all microorganisms and spores from an object or area and includes surgical hand washing, establishing and maintaining sterile fields, donning surgical garb, and applying sterile gloves. Surgical aseptic technique is used in operating rooms, in labor and delivery, and in preparation and use of a sterile field and equipment for bedside procedures such as inserting a urinary catheter or changing a sterile dressing.

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.
