Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer a vaccine to a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Verify the vaccine expiration date. This is crucial to ensure the vaccine's effectiveness and safety. Expired vaccines may not provide adequate immunity and could even be harmful. Administering the vaccine in the vastus lateralis (
A) is not necessarily incorrect, but the specific site may vary based on age and vaccine type. Using a 1-inch needle for subcutaneous injections (
B) is incorrect because needle length should be adjusted based on the client's size and the injection site. Injecting the vaccine without aspirating (
D) is unnecessary and not a standard practice for vaccines. In summary, verifying the vaccine expiration date is essential for patient safety and optimal immunization outcomes.
