Answer to Question 1

B
The material reviewed on the laboratory report is information because they correspond to the patient's physiological condition. Data (raw numbers) alone have no meaning without associating the values with the patient's health status. The laboratory results become knowledge when the nurse interprets the laboratory readings to understand the patient's condition. The nurse uses wisdom when applying the laboratory values to findings to determine an appropriate plan of care for the patient.

Answer to Question 2

D
CINAHL, The Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature, is a literature database covering nursing, allied health, biomedical, and consumer health journal articles. CINAHL may be accessed by the Internet or in hard copy in most libraries.

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.
