The nurse is preparing to give MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) immunizations at a health clinic. A 25-year-old female tells the nurse that she is pregnant. The nurse should tell the client that she cannot receive the immunization at this time because:
 
  1. the client is too young for the immunization.
  2. the immunization is not effective if the client is pregnant.
  3. the immunization contains the live virus, which could harm the fetus.
  4. the immunization should be given immediately prior to pregnancy.

Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3

1. MMR immunizations are started in childhood.
2. MMR would be effective whether the client were pregnant or not.
3. MMR contains a live virus that could damage the fetus and cause birth defects.
4. The female client is cautioned against pregnancy for 3 months after receiving the MMR because the MMR contains a live virus.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1, 2, 3, 5

1. Leg exercises maintain muscle tone, which facilitates early ambulation.
2. As the leg muscles contract and relax, blood is pumped back to the heart, promoting cardiac output.
3. Leg exercises maintain range of motion, which facilitates early ambulation.
4. Deep breathing and coughing exercises help prevent the development of pneumonia.
5. Leg exercises are taught to reduce the risk for developing deep venous thrombosis.
