Question 1 of 5
A community health nurse is providing education to a group of older adults about immunizations. Which of the following immunizations should the nurse recommend?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Herpes zoster. Older adults are at higher risk for developing shingles, caused by the varicella-zoster virus. The herpes zoster vaccine helps prevent shingles and its complications in this age group. Option B (DTaP) is usually given to children, not older adults. Option C (HPV) primarily targets younger individuals for prevention of cervical cancer. Option D (Rotavirus) is given to infants to prevent severe diarrhea. Vaccine options E, F, and G are not provided in the question. In summary, the herpes zoster vaccine is recommended for older adults due to their increased risk of shingles, making it the most appropriate choice among the options provided.
