Answer to Question 1

A
This is the best response since immunizations are generally safe and do help prevent certain dis-eases and complications of diseases. There are risk factors, such as allergic reaction to vaccina-tions, so this should be discussed with the mother. The nurse should not voice personal feelings about immunization. Although increasing immunizations is a goal of Healthy People 2020, this is not a helpful response to a parent.
