Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3

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

4. Deep breathing and coughing exercises help prevent the development of pneumonia.
