Question 1 of 5
The mother of a 1-month-old infant tells the nurse she worries that her baby will get meningitis like the child's older brother had when he was an infant. The nurse should base her response on which of the following?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Rationale: Option A is correct because vaccinations for pneumococcal and Haemophilus influenzae type B meningitis are indeed available for infants. These vaccines are routinely given to infants in the first year of life to prevent meningitis caused by these bacteria. This is a proactive measure to protect infants from developing meningitis. Option B is incorrect because genetic predisposition is not a common cause of meningitis in infants. Option C is incorrect as meningitis can occur in infants, especially from bacterial infections. Option D is incorrect as there is no single vaccine that prevents all types of meningitis.
