Answer to Question 1

A
A reduced sensitivity to odours means that the client may be unable to smell a smouldering fire. The client should use smoke detectors on every level of the home as a safety measure.
A home safety measure specific for the client with diminished vision is the use of extra lighting in hallways.
A home safety measure specific for the client with diminished hearing is the use of amplified telephone receivers.
A home safety measure specific for the client with reduced tactile sensation is having mild wa-ter-heater temperatures.

Answer to Question 2

B
Aboriginal life choices and the responsibility to choose, and a belief in living day by day may help to explain why the client does not appear interested in discussing the future of his diabetes management.
The statement His cultural time orientation is to the past is not a determining factor for future needs.
The statement He believes that there is no point in worrying about what has not yet happened does not reflect Aboriginal values or beliefs.
The statement His belief is that time will heal his condition does not reflect Aboriginal values or beliefs.

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.
