Nurse reviewing CDC's immunizations recommendations with middle adult. Which should nurse include in this discussion? (Select all that apply.)
Correct answer
B,C,E
Rationale
The correct choices for the nurse to include in the discussion with the middle adult are Varicella, Herpes zoster, and Seasonal influenza. Varicella (chickenpox) and Herpes zoster (shingles) are important vaccinations to prevent these viral infections, especially in middle-aged adults who may be at higher risk. Seasonal influenza vaccination is also crucial for middle adults to protect against flu-related complications. Haemophilus influenzae type b is typically given to children under 5, so it is not relevant for this age group. HPV vaccination is recommended for younger individuals to prevent certain cancers.
