Question 1 of 5
A nurse is performing a pre-college physical assessment on an adolescent. Which of the following immunizations should the nurse anticipate administering?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine. Adolescents are recommended to receive the meningococcal vaccine to protect against meningococcal disease, which can be severe and life-threatening. The other options are not typically part of routine adolescent immunizations.
A: Influenza vaccine is recommended annually but not specifically for pre-college physicals.
B: Pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine is usually recommended for older adults.
