As relates to rubella and Rh issues, nurses should be aware that:
 
  a. Breastfeeding mothers cannot be vaccinated with the live attenuated rubella virus.
  b. Women should be warned that the rubella vaccination is teratogenic, and that they must avoid pregnancy for 1 month after vaccination.
  c. Rh immune globulin is safely administered intravenously because it cannot harm a nursing infant.
  d. Rh immune globulin boosts the immune system and thereby enhances the effectiveness of vaccinations.

ANS: B
Women should understand they must practice contraception for 1 month after being vaccinated. Because the live attenuated rubella virus is not communicable in breast milk, breastfeeding mothers can be vaccinated. Rh immune globulin is administered intramuscularly; it should never be given to an infant. Rh immune globulin suppresses the immune system and therefore could thwart the rubella vaccination.
