Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: The use of antibiotics by physicians with elderly clients is not the major cause of antibiotic resistance.
Rationale 2: The organisms that cause nosocomial infections have most likely been treated with antibiotics, and are the most likely organisms to develop resistance to antibiotics.
Rationale 3: The use of antibiotics by physicians for children with ear infections is not the primary cause of antibiotic resistance.
Rationale 4: The prophylactic use of antibiotics does not promote antibiotic resistance.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Some drugs do not kill the bacteria, but instead slow their growth and depend on the body's natural defenses to dispose of the microorganisms. These drugs which slow the growth of bacteria are called bacteriostatic.
Rationale 2: Telling the client that the doctor is a specialist does not answer the question and will increase anxiety.
Rationale 3: Telling the client that his blood work is being monitored does not answer the question and will increase anxiety.
Rationale 4: Telling a client with an infection that the infection is not serious will increase anxiety because to the client, all infections are serious.

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.

Cutaneous mucormycosis is a rare fungal infection that has been fatal in at least 29% of cases, and in as many as 83% of cases, depending on the patient's health prior to infection. It has occurred often after natural disasters such as tornados, and early treatment is essential.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
