Question 1 of 5

An 18 year old patient is in the clinic to receive a tetanus vaccine after sustaining a laceration injury. The nurse learns that the patient, who works in a day care center, has not had any vaccines for more than 10 years. Which vaccine will the nurse expect to administer?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: For an 18-year-old with a laceration and no vaccines for over 10 years, Tdap is recommended. It updates tetanus (Td) and adds pertussis protection, critical for daycare workers due to pertussis risk to infants. Td (Choice C) lacks pertussis, DT/DTaP (Choices A, B) are for children <7 years.
