Answer to Question 1

ANS: C

Feedback
A Incorrect: This is an appropriate response by the mother.
B Incorrect: This is an appropriate response by the mother.
C Correct: Medication should not be placed in infant formula, because the child may not consume all of the formula and the medication will change the taste of the primary food, resulting in the risk that the infant may refuse to drink formula.
D Incorrect: This is an appropriate response by the mother.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A

Feedback
A Correct: IV bolus is the method of choice for administering parenteral analgesia, because it provides rapid response by administering it into the port closest to the child.
B Incorrect: The IM route can be painful and has a slower response than IV bolus.
C Incorrect: This IV method provides a slower response, because the medication flows away from the child.
D Incorrect: This IV method provides a slower response than IV bolus, because the medication must travel from the pump to the child.

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.
