Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The nurse should not administer the immunization if the child exhibits signs of acute infection because the vaccine can cause mild infection and can exacerbate acute infections. The child should be free of infection for several days before the immunization is given. Treating the fever, extended monitoring, or smaller doses will not overcome this risk and the only option is to hold the immunization until the child is healthy.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Alaskan Eskimos belong to a genetic group that is predisposed to low plasma cholinesterase levels, making them susceptible to prolonged paralysis after succinylcholine use. The other ethnic groups do not have this genetic predisposition.
