Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Activity intolerance is the NANDA label and identifies the problem, but reports of fatigue is the defining characteristic.
Rationale 2: Weakness and debilitation are the etiology (underlying cause), but reports of fatigue is the defining characteristic.
Rationale 3: The defining characteristics are those reports given by the client, or the signs and symptoms.
Rationale 4: Physical activity is what brings on the reports of the defining characteristic, but reports of fatigue is the defining characteristic.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Nurses must apply knowledge from various areas to recognize cues and patterns to understand what is normal and not normal. This comes from principles of chemistry, anatomy, and pharmacologynot the client or the family.
Rationale 2: The nurse, while taking the information and collecting data, begins to hypothesize possible explanations of the data and then realizes all diagnoses are only tentative until they are verified. The client and family should be included in the beginning and also at the end of the diagnostic process to verify the nurse's diagnoses.
Rationale 3: Both novices and experienced nurses should consult appropriate resources whenever in doubt about a diagnosis; that is not what is described in the scenario.
Rationale 4: Diagnoses should be based on patterns and behavior over time, not an isolated incident.

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.
