A mother brings her four-month-old infant in for a routine checkup and vaccinations. The mother reports that the four-month-old was exposed to a brother who has the flu. In this case, the nurse will:
 
  1. Withhold the DTaP vaccination but give the others as scheduled.
  2. Give the infant the flu vaccination but withhold the others.
  3. Give the vaccinations as scheduled.
  4. Withhold the vaccinations.

Question 2

The nurse is teaching a mother of a young child with a newly diagnosed seizure disorder. The child has been put on valproic acid (Depakote) for control of seizures.
 
  The nurse knows that the mother does not understand the effects of valproic acid when she states: 1. I will not use carbonated beverages to dilute his medication.
  2. I will give his medicine on an empty stomach so he will absorb it better.
  3. I will not let him chew his tablet.
  4. I will bring him to the physician office for regular blood work to check bleeding times.
