Which of the following would the nurse most likely identify as a nursing diagnosis for a client who is receiving an immunization?

A) Risk for Infection
B) Acute Pain
C) Hyperthermia
D) Ineffective Coping


Ans: B
Feedback:
The client who is receiving an immunization would most likely experience pain at the injection site; therefore, Acute Pain would be most appropriate. If the drug was not given, then the client would be at risk for infection. Although fever may occur, Hyperthermia as a nursing diagnosis would be inappropriate. Ineffective Coping would not be associated with immunologic agents.
