Answer to Question 1

1

Rationale: The serum lipase level is elevated in the presence of pancreatic cell injury. Serum trypsin and amylase levels are also elevated in pancreatic injury. Although bilirubin can be elevated in the client with pancreatitis, it is secondary to the hepatobiliary obstructive process.

Answer to Question 2

3

Rationale: Rubella vaccine is a live attenuated virus that provides immunity for 15 years. Be-cause rubella is a live vaccine, it will act as a virus and is potentially harmful to the organogenesis phase of fetal development. The client should be informed about the potential effects of this vaccine and the need to avoid becoming pregnant for 1 to 3 months after administration of the vaccine. Abstinence from sexual intercourse is unnecessary. A second vaccination is not required to attain immunity. Warmth and temperature or extreme changes in temperature have no effect on the person who has been vaccinated.
