The nurse would correctly question the order to administer the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine in which client?
1. One with a history of asthma
2. One with a history of heart disease
3. The child in reverse isolation receiving chemotherapy
4. The student entering nursing school
Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Attenuated vaccination would be important in the client with asthma.
Rationale 2: Attenuated vaccines are administered to clients with a history of heart disease.
Rationale 3: Attenuated vaccines are not administered to the client who is immunosuppressed.
Rationale 4: Attenuated vaccines are administered to students entering nursing school.
Global Rationale: Measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) is a live or attenuated vaccine. The use of attenuated (live) vaccines is dangerous for individuals who are immunosuppressed because the organism may retain some residual ability to replicate and cause disease. Attenuated vaccination is appropriate for clients with asthma, those with heart disease, and students.
