o Tetanus
o Influenza
o Pertussis
o Diphtheria
o Meningococcal
o Human papillomavirus
o Tetanus
o Influenza
o Pertussis
o Diphtheria
o Meningococcal
o Human papillomavirus
· A 12-year-old client should have received a tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap) booster; an annual
influenza vaccination; and the first vaccines in the series for meningococcus and human papillomavirus.
The nurse understands which vaccine is administered through the intranasal route?
o Rotavirus vaccine
o Influenza (live) vaccine
o Varicella virus vaccine
o Human papillomavirus vaccine
o Influenza (live) vaccine
· Influenza (live) vaccine is administered through the intranasal route. The rotavirus vaccine is administered
orally. The varicella virus vaccine is given as a subcutaneous injection. The human papillomavirus vaccine is
given as intramuscular injection.
The nurse is preparing to administer a diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis vaccine to a child. After completing an
assessment, the nurse concludes that the child cannot receive the vaccine safely. Which assessment finding
supports the nurse's conclusion?
o Fever has developed within 48 hours of previous vaccinations.
,o The child exhibited a shock-like state after a previous vaccination.
o The child has a history of anaphylactic reactions after vaccinations.
o The child has an upper respiratory tract infection and mild febrile illness.
o The child has a history of anaphylactic reactions after vaccinations.
· Vaccines are contraindicated in children who exhibit anaphylactic reactions because these reactions may be
life-threatening. If a fever develops after a child’s first vaccination, subsequent vaccines should be
administered with caution. If a shock-like state has previously developed after a vaccination, subsequent
vaccines should be administered with caution. When a child has an upper respiratory tract infection,
vaccinations may be postponed until the infection is resolved.
Which vaccine would the nurse administer to provide protection from precancerous lesions and cancers of the
vulva, cervix, and vagina in young girls and women?
o Rotavirus vaccine
o Varicella virus vaccine
o HPV vaccine
o Meningococcal conjugate vaccine
o HPV vaccine
· Human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine is used to help prevent precancerous lesions of the cervix, vulva, and
vagina caused by HPV types 16 and 18. Rotavirus vaccine is a monovalent vaccine developed to provide
protection against certain rotaviruses, such as G1, G3, G4, and G9. Varicella virus vaccine is a vaccine
administered to provide protection against the varicella virus. Meningococcal conjugate vaccine is a
tetravalent conjugate vaccine that provides protection against certain serotypes of meningococcus, such as A,
C, Y, and W-135.
A client has a history of a persistent cough, hemoptysis, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, night sweats, and
fever. Which risk would be assessed?
o Lung cancer
o Cerebrovascular disease
o Cardiopulmonary alterations
o Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection
o Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection
, · A client with a history of persistent cough, hemoptysis, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, night sweats, or
fever may have a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or tuberculosis. Lung cancer and
cerebrovascular disease are risks to be assessed in the client with a history of tobacco or marijuana use.
Cardiopulmonary alterations may be present in a client with a persistent cough (productive or nonproductive),
sputum streaked with blood, or voice changes.
Which activity by the community nurse is an illness prevention strategy?
o Encouraging the client to exercise daily
o Arranging an immunization program for chicken pox
o Teaching the community about stress management
o Teaching the client about maintaining a nutritious diet
o Arranging an immunization program for chicken pox
· An illness prevention program protects people from actual or potential threats to health. A chickenpox
immunization program is an illness prevention program. It motivates the community to prevent a decline in
health or functional levels. A health promotion program encourages the client to maintain his or her present
levels of health. The nurse promotes the health of the client by encouraging the client to exercise daily.
Wellness education teaches people how to care for themselves in a healthy manner. The nurse provides
wellness education by teaching about stress management. The nurse promotes the health of the client by
teaching the client to maintain a nutritious diet.
Which type of vaccines triggers the recipient's immune system to produce antitoxins?
o Live vaccines
o Killed vaccines
o Toxoid vaccines
o Specific immune globulins
o Toxoid vaccines
· Toxoids are a nontoxic form of bacterial toxins that induce the formation of antitoxins by the recipient’s
immune system. Examples of these types of vaccines include tetanus toxoid and diphtheria toxoid. Both live
and killed vaccines induce the body’s immune system to produce antibodies, making the individual actively
immune to the microbes. Specific immune globulins are high concentration of antibodies prepared from
donated blood directed against specific antigens.
Which immune preparation contains antibodies that provide passive immunity?
o Toxoid
o Killed vaccine
o Live attenuated vaccine
o Specific immune globulin
o Specific immune globulin
