Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer the varicella vaccine to a group of clients. The nurse should identify which of the following clients as having a contraindication for receiving this immunization?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: A client who has AIDS. Individuals with AIDS have weakened immune systems, making them more susceptible to adverse effects from live vaccines like the varicella vaccine. Administering live vaccines to immunocompromised individuals can lead to severe complications.
Choice A is incorrect because receiving the human papillomavirus vaccine does not contraindicate receiving the varicella vaccine.
Choice B is incorrect as an allergy to eggs is not a contraindication for the varicella vaccine.
Choice D is incorrect as age and living in a long-term care facility do not contraindicate receiving the varicella vaccine.
