Given the limited supply, the local health department is required to prioritize the distribution of influenza vaccines. Who should the public health nurse advise to return to the clinic when more vaccines are available?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
A 60-year-old client with diabetes is at increased risk for complications from influenza. However, their agoraphobia (fear of crowds) might make them less likely to be exposed to the virus compared to the other individuals. Therefore, they could be advised to return to the clinic when more vaccines are available.
