allowed liberal visitation.

Answer to Question 2

H. influenzae type B (HIB) vaccine
The nurse should encourage parents of young children to have their children immunized
against H. influenzae to decrease the risk for contracting epiglottitis. Prophylaxis with
rifampin is given to underimmunized contacts or family members younger than 4 years old
and to any child contact who is immune depressed.
