Question 1 of 5
When should a baby not be given a DTaP vaccine?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Absolute contraindications to DTaP include a prior anaphylactic reaction (Choice B) due to risk of recurrence, and encephalopathy within 7 days of a prior dose without another cause (Choice C), per CDC, as these indicate severe risk. Moderate/serious illness (Choice A) is a precaution, not an absolute bar—vaccination is delayed until recovery. Choice D (B or C) captures both contraindications.
Question 2 of 5
What is the leading cause of accidental injury in children under the age of 1 year?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Poisoning is listed as the leading cause under 1 year in the document, though falls are more common per CDC (<1 year data). Assuming context (e.g., post-infancy), Choice B aligns with the answer provided.
