A client reports to the nurse of recently visiting someone who has a shingles infection. The client believes that having had chickenpox as a child will be protective against shingles. How should the nurse respond? Select all that apply.
Correct answer
B,E
Rationale
The correct answers are B and E for the same reasons as Question 1: affirming the link between chickenpox and shingles (B) and distinguishing herpes varicella from herpes zoster (E) address the client's misconception. Choice A does not clarify the client's risk. Choice C is unrelated to the question about protection. Choice D is incorrect as the risk of shingles increases with age.
