Global Rationale: Hypervitaminosis, or toxic levels of vitamins, has been reported for vitamins A, C, D, E, B6, niacin, and folic acid. Pernicious anemia, vitamin overload, and vitamin deficiency are not the medical terms used to describe this condition.

Answer to Question 2

Rationale 1: Alcohol decreases the absorption.
Rationale 2: Symptoms may take longer to subside if the disease has been prolonged. Some neurological damage could be permanent, and treatment might need to continue for the remainder of the client's life.
Rationale 3:The medication does not cause hypertension.
Rationale 4:Hypokalemia is possible, and serum potassium levels should be monitored periodically.

Global Rationale: Cyanocobalamin is a purified form of vitamin B12. The most common cause of B12 deficiency is a lack of intrinsic factor in the intestine.Symptoms may take longer to subside if disease has been prolonged. Some neurological damage could be permanent, and treatment might need to continue for the remainder of the client's life. Alcohol may decrease the absorption.

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.
