The nursing student is teaching a parent in the pediatric clinic about the immunizations the 6-year-old client has received. The student concludes that the parent understood the teaching when the parent states:
1. "My child has passive immunity to polio now.".
2. "I breastfed my child to avoid the need for immunizations.".
3. "The flu shot will need to be given again next year.".
4. "The immune serum given to my child will provide protection for 3 years.".
3. "The flu shot will need to be given again next year.".
Rationale:
The flu shot is given once a year because the immunization is effective only for the current strain. Polio vaccine is artificially acquired active immunity. Breastfeeding provides the child with passive immunity for the first six months to a year. An immune serum provides short-term protection lasting a few months.
