Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback
A The angle of injection for an intradermal injection is 5 to 15 degrees.
B The correct angle for an intradermal injection is not 30 degrees.
C Subcutaneous injections may be administered at a 45-degree angle.
D Subcutaneous or intramuscular injections may be administered at a 90-degree angle.

Answer to Question 2

A

Feedback
A Inflation pressure averages 40 mm Hg.
B Initial measurement is made around the largest part of the patient's thigh.
C A protective stockinette is placed over the patient's leg. Then the stocking is wrapped around the leg, starting at the ankle, with the opening over the patella.
D Stockings are not removed every hour. For optimal results, sequential compression or intermittent pneumatic compression devices are used as soon as possible and maintained until the patient becomes fully ambulatory. The stockings should be removed periodically to assess the condition of the patient's skin.

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.
