Rationale: The nurse must decide which client should be seen on the initial
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm


rounds of the day. The nurse must remember that the first client to be
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm


seen should be the client who needs the attention of the nurse
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm


initially. A client with hepatitis A does experience diarrhea, but
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm


diarrhea for the last 24 hours could cause the client to have a
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm


problem with dehydration and experience a state of fluid volume

deficit.

Rationale: Influenza vaccines are recommended for person at high risk for
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm


serious sequelae of influenza. The nurse should be aware that client with
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm


a sensitivity to eggs should not receive the vaccine. Vaccines prepared

, from chicken or duck embryos are contraindicated in clients who are
