Answer to Question 1

A, D, E
Feedback:
The nurse should emphasize that live vaccines should not be given to those infected with HIV. Children should receive routine immunizations according to the usual schedule with the killed virus vaccines, including pneumococcal and human papillomavirus vaccine. Symptomatic children should not receive the varicella vaccine, and those with low CD4 counts should not receive measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
It is important for the nurse to recognize the ethnic background of each adolescent. Research has shown that certain ethnic groups are at higher risk for certain diseases. For example, adolescent African Americans are at higher risk for developing hypertension.
