A nurse is preparing to assist with a procedure that requires moderate (conscious) sedation. Which of the following medications should the nurse expect to be prescribed to sedate the client?

A. NPH insulin should be drawn up second, after lispro insulin, to prevent contamination of the shorter-acting insulin.

B. Lispro insulin (short-acting) and NPH insulin (intermediate-acting) can be mixed in one syringe, with the lispro insulin drawn first.

C. The client should eat immediately after administering lispro insulin (a rapid-acting insulin), not within 1 hour.

D. Lispro insulin is clear and should not be cloudy.

A. "My boyfriend should get this shot too.": The HPV vaccine is recommended for all adolescents, including males and females, typically starting at ages 11–12. Vaccinating boys helps prevent the spread of HPV and also protects them from genital warts and certain cancers.

B. "This shot will keep me from getting herpes.": The HPV vaccine does not protect against herpes simplex virus (HSV), which is a different sexually transmitted infection. This reflects a misunderstanding of what the vaccine prevents.

C. "I need to come back in 2 months for another shot.": For adolescents starting the HPV vaccine at age 15 or older, three doses are required. The second dose is given 1–2 months after the first. This statement reflects accurate understanding of the dosing schedule.

D. "I need to have a blood test when I'm an adult to see if I'm still immune.": No routine blood test is used to check immunity to HPV. Immunity is assumed after completing the vaccine series.

E. "This shot can keep me from getting some kinds of cancer.": The HPV vaccine protects against strains of the virus that are linked to cervical, vaginal, vulvar, anal, penile, and oropharyngeal cancers.

F. "Now I won't need to worry about having Pap smears.": Pap smears are still required for cervical cancer screening even after HPV vaccination. The vaccine doesn't protect against all cancer-causing strains.

G. "I will need a booster shot every 10 years.": Current guidelines do not recommend booster doses of the HPV vaccine after completing the initial series.
