Question 1 of 5
The mother of a 5-year-old child taking prednisone for nephrotic syndrome tells the nurse he needs to get immunizations to enter kindergarten. What does the nurse clarify about receiving immunizations while on prednisone?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Require that the child have antibiotic coverage. This answer is incorrect because immunizations do not typically require antibiotic coverage. Should be delayed. Prednisone can suppress the immune response, potentially reducing the effectiveness of vaccines.
Therefore, immunizations should be delayed until the child has completed the course of prednisone and their immune system has recovered. Can interfere with the treatment for nephrosis. While prednisone can be part of nephrotic syndrome treatment, immunizations are not known to interfere directly with this treatment. Can be given in smaller, divided doses. This answer is incorrect because the issue isn't about the size or frequency of the vaccine doses but rather about the timing relative to the child's immunosuppressive treatment.
