Rationale 2: Attenuated vaccines are administered to clients with a history of heart disease.
Rationale 3: Attenuated vaccines are not administered to the client who is immunosuppressed.
Rationale 4: Attenuated vaccines are administered to students entering nursing school.
Global Rationale: Measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) is a live or attenuated vaccine.

Attenuated vaccination is appropriate for clients with asthma, those with heart disease, and students.
