Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing care to a group of children at a pediatric clinic. Which of the following children meets the criteria to receive a varicella vaccine?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A child who received a blood transfusion 1 month ago is not recommended to receive the varicella vaccine. This is because blood transfusions can introduce new antibodies into the body that may interfere with the immune response to the vaccine. A child currently receiving immunoglobulins should not receive the varicella vaccine. Immunoglobulins are proteins in the blood that function as antibodies. They can interfere with the body's immune response to the vaccine. A child currently receiving chemotherapy should not receive the varicella vaccine. Chemotherapy can weaken the immune system, making it less effective at responding to vaccines. A child who has a cold and nasal discharge can receive the varicella vaccine. Mild illnesses, such as a cold, do not interfere with the immune response to the vaccine.
