A mother and father are reading a pamphlet about the Hepatitis B series of vaccines for their newborn daughter. The father asks the nurse how many shots their baby will need to receive
The nurse knows that her teaching has been effective when the parents respond with: 1. "A shot will be given today, then at her two month checkup, and again at her six month checkup.".
2. "The shot cannot be given until she is at least 6 months old because she will need to build some immunity to the virus first.".
3. "The injection is given in just one does, and then a booster is administered before she goes to school.".
4. "She does not need the immunization because her mother was Hepatitis B negative.".
