Concerning rubella and Rh issues, nurses should be aware that:
1. breastfeeding mothers cannot be vaccinated with the live attenuated rubella virus.
2. women should be warned that the rubella vaccination is teratogenic and they must avoid pregnancy 2 to 3 months after vaccination.
3. Rh immune globulin is safely administered IV because it cannot harm a nursing infant.
4. Rh immune globulin boosts the immune system and so enhances the effectiveness of vaccinations.

1. Incorrect. Because the live attenuated rubella virus is not communicable in breast milk, breastfeeding mothers can be vaccinated.
2. Correct. Woman should understand they must practice contraception for 2 to 3 months after being vaccinated.
3. Incorrect. Rh immune globulin is administered IM; it should never be given to an infant.
4. Incorrect. Rh immune globulin suppresses the immune system and so might thwart the rubella vaccination.

The nurse admits a patient to the critical care unit following a motorcycle crash. Assessment findings by the nurse include blood pressure 100/50 mm Hg, heart rate 58 beats/min, respiratory rate 30 breaths/min, and temperature of 100.5°
The patient is lethargic, responds to voice but falls asleep readily when not stimulated. Which nursing action is most important to include in this patient's plan of care? a. Frequent neurological assessments b. Side to side position changes c. Range of motion to extremities d. Frequent oropharyngeal suctioning
What would be exemplified by poor "overall flow of logic in the study," in terms of the second step of critical appraisal? (Select all that apply.)
a. The title of the study mentions "the effect of," but the study design is simple descriptive. b. There was a 60% dropout; nonetheless, the researchers claimed that the sample was representative. c. Statistical analyses used are all coherent with the variables' levels of measurement. d. The study framework is gratuitous. It does not, in the slightest, help to explain the relationship between the principal study variables. e. The problem statement and the purpose of the study aren't closely related. It seems like a big leap to get from the problem to the gap, and to the purpose.
