A mother tells the nurse, I am so concerned about my child. He may not have adequate immunity to chicken pox. What is the best response by the nurse?
 
  1. You don't have to worry as long as your child has received all of his vaccinations.
  2. We can give your child another booster if you would like.
  3. There really is no way to know if your child will develop chicken pox.
  4. We can draw a titer to determine if there is adequate immunity.

Question 2

The client receives infliximab (Remicade), an immunosuppressant medication. What is the priority information for the nurse to teach the client about this medication?
 
  1. The client should get adequate exercise.
  2. The client should drink plenty of fluids.
  3. The client should eat plenty of fruits and vegetables.
  4. The client should avoid crowds.
