Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Practices related to the identification of IPV vary, but it is generally agreed that a simple screening tool can be an effective strategy. A focused physical assessment and the involvement of social work are not warranted for all clients. A review of the definition and repercussions of IPV is likely not as effective as a simple and direct screening tool.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
A person who is familiar with his or her surroundings is less likely to experience an accidental injury. As part of the hospital admission routine, it is important to orient the client to the safety features and equipment in the room. A bedpan should not be used for the sole reason of reducing the risk of falls, and pain medication should be provided in doses sufficient to treat the client's pain. A client should never be charged with supervising the safety of another client.

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.
