Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Reflection involves being able to determine what data are relevant and to make connections between that data and the decisions reached. The nurse reflects on previous clinical experiences similar to this one and determines if the outcomes of care improved the clients' conditions.
Rationale 2: Context is an essential consideration in nursing because care must always be individualized, taking knowledge and applying it to real people, but that is not what is described in the scenario.
Rationale 3: Dialogue is a purposed exchange of information, but that is not what is described in the scenario.
Rationale 4: The attribute of time is a part of reflection.

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.
