Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
One of the most important health assessment and promotion measures for children is to establish their immunization status is up to date. The nurse should teach parents about the importance of having their children immunized and the need to be able to describe the record of immunizations a child has received. If gaps are present in a child's number of immunizations, remind the child's primary care provider about this lack in protection and prepare to administer the necessary vaccines. The child's immunizations begin up to date indicate that the nurse's instruction has been effective. Having the child immunize within a year might expose the child to pathogens than could be avoided. Children will cry when receiving injections. This is not a valid reason to postpone immunization. The health care provider needs to understand the importance of childhood immunizations to be received at the correct age and time.
