The nurse is planning to provide vaccinations to a school-aged child. Which of the following should the nurse most likely review prior to administering these vaccinations?

Question

1. The current year's immunization schedule for children
2. The current immunization schedule for adolescents
3. The current immunization schedule for adults
4. The list of viruses included in the pneumonia vaccination solution

Answer 1

The current year's immunization schedule for children

Rationale: The immunization schedule for children is revised annually and published each year in January by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The schedule for adolescents and adults is revised less frequently, except for the influenza vaccine recommendations that are published annually. The client is school-aged, not adult. It is not necessary for the nurse to review the list of viruses included in the pneumonia vaccination solution.
