Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: The PCV vaccine is given at 2, 4, and 6 months.
Rationale 2: The meningococcal vaccine should be administered at age 11.
Rationale 3: Fifteen-month-olds receive the MMR vaccine.
Rationale 4: Infants receive the HBIG within 12 hours of birth.
Global Rationale: Routine immunization for meningococcal infection is recommended at age 11. Special populations that should receive vaccination include individuals traveling to regions where meningococcal infection is endemic or those living in crowded conditions, such as college residence halls. Because college freshman living in dormitories are at increased risk for infection, some colleges now require meningococcal vaccination for these students.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Viruses are not carried in red blood cells.
Rationale 2: The rabies virus is carried in the saliva of infected animals.
Rationale 3: Infected animals do not carry the rabies virus in their feces.
Rationale 4: Immunoglobulins are administered to assist with immunity.
Global Rationale: Rabies is caused by a virus that can invade the nervous system of most mammals. The rabies virus is carried in saliva and is passed to humans through animal bites from infected dogs, coyotes, wolves, foxes, raccoons, skunks, and bats. It is not harboured in other body fluids or wastes.
