The mother of a newborn child does not wish for her child to receive immunizations because she has read that immunizations, especially MMR vaccine, cause autism. Which of the following statements by the nurse is the FIRST response?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Current studies support that there is no link between immunizations and Autism. This response is the first step in addressing the mother's concerns by providing evidence-based information.

This response is important in guiding the mother to make an informed decision based on scientific evidence rather than misinformation.
