A mother asks the nurse why her child needs a polio vaccination when polio has been eliminated in the United States and eradicated in most of the world. The nurse's best answer would be:
 
  a. Only one of many strains of polio has been eradicated. We believe that new strains are being formed.
  b. Some children suddenly lose their immunity, and we have no explanation for why this happens.
  c. You might have to travel to a foreign country, and when you might be exposed to the polio virus.
  d. Polio virus still exists in parts of the world, which means this virus could be introduced accidentally into this country again and we could have an epidemic of polio.
