Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The priority of the nurse is to ventilate the patient manually using an Ambu bag-valve-mask unit. This allows air to be forced into the patient's lungs when there are no spontaneous respirations. The non-rebreather mask and nasal cannula require the patient to breathe on his own. CPAP is used for patients who are awake, oriented, and in respiratory failure.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, F
Postoperative splinting is done by supporting the abdominal and chest muscles to minimize the pain of coughing and deep breathing after surgery. Patients who have just had heart or abdominal surgery will benefit from splinting. The other surgical procedures do not affect the chest or abdomen, and these patients would not benefit from teaching about splinting.

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.
