Answer to Question 1

Ans: C

Clients such as older adults with dementia, and their children, cannot be relied on to report accurately. However, they should be encouraged to respond to interview questions as best as they can. Bypassing the client communicates that the nurse does not have time or has doubts in the client's ability to communicate.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D

Objective data are observable and measurable data that can be seen, heard, or felt by someone other than the person experiencing them. Objective data observed by one person can be verified by another person observing the same client. Objective data are also called signs or overt data. The only objective data in this question would be that the nurse is unable to palpate a femoral pulse.

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.
