Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4

The first dose of varicella vaccine is given at 12 to 15 months of age. Providing the vaccine prior to that time is contraindicated.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

According to the Health Belief Model, mediating variables determine the likelihood of an individual to actively participate in prevention of illness. The client whose family members have a history of breast cancer is most vulnerable to the disease and is thus most likely to engage in the available health screenings. The remaining participants do not have the same high level of mediating factors to influence their participation. The client who is attending the program as a course requirement will be less influenced to participate in the health screenings than the client who has the positive family history of breast cancer. Similarly, the client who is attending the program in support of the presenter and the client who agreed to attend the program in support of another participant will be less influenced to participate in the health screenings than the client who has the positive family history of breast cancer.
