1. Cough and runny nose
2. Pain, swelling, and redness at injection sites
3. Fever of 101°F or greater
4. Development of a full-body rash
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Cough and runny nose are not common adverse effects.
Rationale 2: Pain, swelling, and redness at the injection site are common side effects.
Rationale 3: A slight elevation of body temperature could occur, but not 101°F or higher.
Rationale 4: Clients should not respond to a vaccine with a full-body rash.
Global Rationale: The most common adverse effects of vaccination are pain, swelling, and redness at the injection sites. Allergy or anaphylaxis following vaccination is extremely rare. Cough, runny nose, high fever, and rash are not expected reactions.
