A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who is postpartum about the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct answer
D
Rationale
The MMR vaccine is live attenuated, and women should avoid pregnancy for 28 days post-vaccination to reduce theoretical fetal risk. Breastfeeding is safe, partner vaccination isn't a client-specific instruction, and gluten allergy isn't a contraindication.
