Correct answer
A,B,E
Rationale
The correct vaccines to give to a 1-year-old child are Varicella (VAR), Measles, mumps rubella (MMR), and the DTaP vaccine. VAR protects against chickenpox, MMR against measles, mumps, and rubella, and DTaP against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis. These vaccines are recommended by the CDC for children at this age due to the risk of these diseases in this age group. Rotavirus (RV) vaccine is typically given earlier, and HPV4 is not recommended until adolescence. By administering VAR, MMR, and DTaP, the nurse ensures the child is protected from these contagious and potentially serious diseases.
