A client asks, "Why do we get some diseases, like chickenpox, only once, but I get a cold several times a year?" What is the nurse's best response?

▸ "The immune system develops a memory for chickenpox, or varicella, but not for colds."

▸ "Chickenpox, or varicella, is caused by one virus, while colds are caused by many different viruses."

▸ "So many people are immunized against varicella that exposure is rare."

▸ "Some people do get varicella more than once."
