Answer to Question 1

A
The nurse should encourage health promotion behaviors but first must consider the autonomy of the patient. The nurse would want to value the input of the patient in making a decision and to address any concerns the patient may have. The HPV vaccine is a preventative treatment, whether or not the patient is sexually active. The nurse should not make assumptions about a patient's home life; instead, the nurse should ask questions while establishing a therapeutic relationship.

Answer to Question 2

C
Vitamin A can reverse steroid effects on skin and delayed healing.
Iron does not reverse the effects of steroids. It is important in the transport of oxygen.
Folic acid does not reverse the effects of steroids. It is a B-complex vitamin needed for DNA synthesis.
The B-complex vitamins do not reverse the effects of steroids. The B vitamins affect growth and stimulate appetite, lactation, and the gastrointestinal, neurological, and endocrine systems.

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.

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.
