  1. The immunizations are more effective if they are given closer together.
  2. Our babies might have a mild fever and be fussy for a few days.
  3. If our babies develop a fever, we must call the doctor immediately.
  4. We can give acetaminophen (Tylenol) if our babies have a mild fever.
  5. If our babies develop a mild fever, it means an allergic reaction.

Question 2

Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2,4
Rationale 1: The recommended immunization schedule should be followed. There is no benefit to giving the immunizations closer together.
Rationale 2: A mild fever is a typical reaction to immunizations.
Rationale 3: The physician does not need to be called unless the fever is high.
Rationale 4: Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is indicted for relief of mild symptoms.
Rationale 5: A mild fever does not indicate an allergic reaction to the immunization.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: There is no such immunization as pertussis-tetanus.
Rationale 2: This red rash is unexpected and could indicate a potential adverse reaction to the vaccine such as anaphylaxis, so the nurse should withhold the immunization and contact the physician.
Rationale 3: The nurse should not tell the mother to administer acetaminophen (Tylenol); this will not prevent anaphylaxis.
Rationale 4: The nurse cannot administer diphenhydramine (Benadryl) without a physician's order.
