Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The woman needs RhoGAM today and will need an MMR since her rubella titer is low. Because it is a live vaccine, the MMR should be given in 3 months. She does not need hepatitis B immune globulin.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Although hepatitis B vaccine is recommended, patients have a right to refuse. The refusal should be documented in the mother's and baby's chart. The nurse should never administer the vaccine without consent. Telling the mother that she will harm her baby if she does not consent is coercive. The vaccine is recommended and is required for admission to schools, but parents still have a right to refuse.
