Post by: Desolo on Oct 28, 2014
An infant age 4 months comes to the clinic for a well-infant check-up. Immunizations she should receive are DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis) and IPV (inactivated poliovirus vaccine). She is recovering from a cold but is otherwise healthy and afebrile. Her older sister has cancer and is receiving chemotherapy. Nursing considerations include which of the following?
a.   DTaP and IPV can be safely given.
b.   DTaP and IPV are contraindicated because she has a cold.
c.   IPV is contraindicated because her sister is immunocompromised.
d.   DTaP and IPV are contraindicated because her sister is immunocompromised.
