Answer to Question 1

C
In addition to standard precautions, use airborne precautions for patients known or suspected to have serious illnesses transmitted by airborne droplet nuclei. Examples of such illnesses include measles, varicella (including disseminated zoster), and TB. Airborne precautions are not appropriate for viral infections spread by droplet transmission, including adenovirus, influenza, mumps, parvovirus B19, and rubella. Contact precautions would be appropriate for a patient with pediculosis.

Answer to Question 2

D
D. This reduces the transmission of microorganisms; powder may irritate the eyes. Snug gloves prevent accidental contact with the eyes.
A. Contact lens care is not a sterile procedure and does not require sterile gloves.
B. Rinsing the hands with alcohol has no advantage during care of contact lenses and any lingering alcohol would be painful if it touched the client's eye.
C. A fluffy towel could transmit lint to the nurse's hands that could enter the client's eye.

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.
