Passage / Scenario
A nurse is preparing to administer recommended immunizations to a 12-month-old infant who is up-to-date with the current schedule.Which of the following immunizations should the nurse plan to administer? Select all that apply.
Correct answer
A,B
Rationale
The correct answer is A and B. The nurse should plan to administer the MMR (Measles, mumps, and rubella) and Varicella (VAR) immunizations. MMR vaccine protects against measles, mumps, and rubella, which are highly contagious diseases. Varicella vaccine prevents chickenpox, another common and contagious illness. Rotavirus (C), Herpes zoster (D), and Human papillomavirus (HPV4) (E) vaccines are not typically administered by nurses, depending on the setting. Rotavirus is usually given to infants by pediatricians, while Herpes zoster and HPV4 vaccines are often administered by healthcare providers specializing in adult vaccinations.
