Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, E
Proper positioning of the SCD sleeve allows proper fit and application, which decreases the risk of constricting the blood flow or diminishing optimal outcomes. Wrap the sleeve around the leg, and fasten it with Velcro straps. Verify that two fingers fit between the leg and the sleeve when the sleeve is not inflated. Connect the sleeves to the device, ensure that there are no kinks in the tubing, and turn on the cooling and set it to 35 to 55 mm Hg.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, D
To ensure patients do not have hazards that can cause falls at home, the nurse should evaluate where the living quarters are. If the patient has stairs, they need to be able to safely learn how to use the stairs. They need to remove throw rugs that are a trip hazard and place nonskid mats in front of sinks, tubs, and showers. They can shower with a bench or chair in the shower for sitting.

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.
