Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: The explanation to the mother by the nurse provides an understanding of the immunization series to the mother and enables the mother to make an intelligent choice. While administering immunizations is considered health maintenance, the activity described in the question is clearly health promotion. A health assessment would be completed to determine what immunizations are needed. Health maintenance is the actual administration of the immunization and health screening involves looking at the immunization record to determine which immunizations are needed.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: Autism screening would not be appropriate at this age. If autism were present, it would have presented before this age. STI evaluation, hemoglobin test, and vision screening are all appropriate for a 17-year-old.
