Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Extra batteries are needed to keep on hand because a battery only lasts 1 1/2 to 2 weeks.
Rationale 2: Marking the aid is necessary for a client living in a long-term facility because of the potentially high number of hearing aids.
Rationale 3: Hair spray can clog a hearing aid, and clients are encouraged not to use it when the aid is in use.
Rationale 4: A hair dryer should not be used around the aid as heat can damage the aid.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Allowing for a toe pleat provides for client comfort.
Rationale 2: Placing the bath blanket over the client prevents unnecessary exposure.
Rationale 3: Sliding the mattress to the head of the bed makes it easier to tuck in the linens.

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.
