Passage / Scenario
A 4-year-old child receiving a vaccine.Which of the following vaccines should the nurse administer?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The correct answer is C: Varicella (VAR). The rationale for this is that Varicella vaccine is recommended for preventing chickenpox, a highly contagious viral infection. The other options, Hepatitis B, Haemophilus influenza type b, and Meningococcal vaccines, are important but not specifically indicated in this scenario. Hepatitis B vaccine is for preventing Hepatitis B virus infection, Hib vaccine is for preventing Haemophilus influenza type b infection, and Meningococcal vaccine is for preventing meningococcal disease. Therefore, in this case, the nurse should administer the Varicella vaccine to prevent chickenpox.
