The nurse is educating a client on meningitis. Which statements would the nurse include in the teaching? Select all that apply.
Correct answer
B,C
Rationale
Immunocompromised and older adults are at risk, and viral meningitis is common with negative CSF cultures. The meningococcal vaccine is recommended at 11-12 years, not 6, and boosters are for all teens, not just those in crowded settings. Preschoolers are not the highest-risk group.
