Answer to Question 1

3. Varicella vaccine

Rationale:
A child with an immune disorder should not be immunized with a live varicella vaccine because of the risk of contracting the disease. DTaP, HIB, and hepatitis B vaccinations are not a live vaccine, and should be given on schedule.

Answer to Question 2

3. Avoid antihistamines as well as decongestants.

Rationale:
Antihistamines as well as decongestants can interact with glaucoma treatment; the client must avoid both. Nasal sprays will also interact with the systemic effects of the eye drops for glaucoma, so they must be avoided.
