Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The nurse must exercise clinical judgment about the scheduling of new drug orders, missed dosages, modified drug orders or substitution of therapeutically equivalent medicines by the pharmacy, or changes in the patient's condition that require consultation with the physician, health care provider, or pharmacist. Adjusting the route is not within the role of the nurse. Documenting the response to PRN medications at the end of the shift is not an acceptable time frame. Educating the patient about the medication is within the nurse's role.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
U 100 means 100 units per mL.

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.
