Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,3,5
Rationale 1: Challenges such as emotional stress can promote active replication of the virus with lesion appearance.
Rationale 2: The virus that causes shingles can lay dormant for years and then become active. Multiple outbreaks over time are not uncommon.
Rationale 3: Physical health challenges suppress the immune system and make it more likely the client will have a shingles outbreak.
Rationale 4: The client can take some active steps to lessen the likelihood of recurrence.
Rationale 5: Challenges to physical and emotional health can suppress the immune system which allows the virus to replicate actively.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: The vaccine is given to prevent hepatitis A, but is not the likely medication given when exposure is documented.
Rationale 2: Boosters are given for immunizations, not treatments after exposure is documented.
Rationale 3: Postexposure treatment includes administration of hepatitis A immunoglobulin.
Rationale 4: Immunoglobulins are only about 85 effective at preventing HAV.
Rationale 5: The vaccine has a 58 years window of effectiveness, but that is not likely what this client is receiving.
