The nurse is providing instructions to the mother of a child with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection regarding immunizations
Which of the following statements, if made by the mother, indicates an understanding of the immunization schedule? 1. "The hepatitis B vaccine is not to be given to my child."
2. "My child will receive all the vaccines like any other child."
3. "Family members in the household need to receive the influenza vaccine."
4. "Blood tests need to be evaluated before any immunizations are given to my child."
3
Rationale: A child with HIV infection will receive the same immunizations as other children except for live vaccines. All household members receive the influenza vaccine. "Blood tests need to be evaluated before any immunizations are given to my child." is not necessary and is inaccu-rate.
