Question 1 of 5
A nurse in a clinic is preparing to administer the measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccine to a client. Which of the following findings should indicate to the nurse that the client has a contraindication for the MMR vaccine?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: The client is at 9 weeks of gestation. Administering the MMR vaccine during pregnancy is contraindicated due to the theoretical risk of causing harm to the fetus. The live attenuated MMR vaccine should not be given to pregnant women as it may potentially harm the developing fetus. It is crucial to avoid administration during pregnancy to prevent any adverse effects on the unborn child.
Other options are incorrect because:
A: The client had a local reaction from a previous immunization - Local reactions to previous vaccines are not contraindications to receiving the MMR vaccine.
B: The client reports having diarrhea this morning - Diarrhea is not a contraindication for the MMR vaccine.
D: The client reports an allergy to penicillin - Allergy to penicillin is not a contraindication for the MMR vaccine.
