A new mother has brought her 6-week-old infant into the pediatric clinic for a routine checkup. She appears anxious and expresses several concerns regarding her infant's care.
 
  a. The mother is confused about the need for immunizations as she has been told that there is a link between autism and certain immunizations. What would you say to the mother regarding the importance of immunizations?
  b. The mother tells the nurse that she is concerned that her infant is not feeding well. She has been breast-feeding primarily, but supplementing with formula, and says her infant has been spitting up frequently. What questions would you ask the client?
