Question 2
Sandra Brown is a nurse in a pediatric clinic. Recently Sandra helped care for Tiffany Peters, a 6-month-old who had developed a high fever and had a seizure following her third diphtheria, tetanus,
and pertussis (DTaP) vaccine injection. Because of her experience, Sandra knew that after Tiffany had been assessed and treated, she was required to:
1. Assure Tiffany's mother that this problem was probably an isolated case and that she should not hesitate to bring Tiffany back for her booster immunizations at 15 months.
2. Obtain the lot number of the DTaP vaccine that Tiffany had been given from her record and return all vaccine from the same lot to the manufacturer.
3. Report the incident to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System.
4. Talk with the nurse who had given Tiffany's injection to be sure she knew there had been a problem.
