Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
The nurse should monitor the client for blurred vision as an adverse reaction to the trimethobenzamide hydrochloride (Tigan). The nurse need not monitor the client for acid rebound, neurotoxicity, and bone softening as they are not adverse reactions to trimethobenzamide hydrochloride (Tigan). Acid rebound is an adverse reaction to calcium carbonate. Neurotoxicity and bone softening are adverse reactions to aluminum carbonate gel.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B, E
Feedback:
5-HT3 receptor antagonists, like ondansetron (Zofran) and granisetron (Kytril), are used in the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting.

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.
