A nurse is administering an intramuscular vaccination to an infant who has Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome. Because of this syndrome, this infant is at higher risk for:
1. Pain at the injection site.
2. Bleeding at the injection site.
3. Redness and swelling at the injection site.
4. Mild rash at the injection site.
2
Rationale:
1. Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome would not put the child at higher risk for pain at the injection site.
2. Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome is characterized by thrombocytopenia, with bleeding tendencies appearing during the neonatal period.
3. Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome would not put the child at higher risk for redness or swelling at the injection site.
4. Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome would not put the child at higher risk for rash at the injection site.
