Answer to Question 1

A
A. A sitting position promotes optimal lung expansion.
B. The client should inhale slowly and deeply for maximum lung expansion with minimal risk of collapse of alveoli.
C. The client should hold the breath for 2 to 5 seconds.
D. The client should exhale slowly.

Answer to Question 2

D
Gentle pressure for 30 to 60 seconds prevents bleeding at the site. To minimize the pain and bruising associated with low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH), it is given subcutaneously on the right or left side of the abdomen, at least 2 inches away from the umbilicus; this area is commonly referred to as a patient's love handles. LMWH comes in a prefilled syringe, and the air bubble should not be expelled before administration. Aspiration after a subcutaneous injection is not necessary. Aspiration after an LMWH injection is not recommended.

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.
