bonding process. After birth is a good time to initiate breastfeeding, but first the mother
needs time to explore the new infant and begin the bonding process. The mother should be
given as much privacy as possible; however, nursing assessments must still be continued
during this critical time. The mother has just delivered and is more focused on the infant; she
will not be receptive to teaching at this time.

Before giving a PP client the rubella vaccine, which of the following facts should the nurse
include in client teaching?
1. The vaccine is safe in clients with egg allergies
2. Breast-feeding isn't compatible with the vaccine
3. Transient arthralgia and rash are common adverse effects
4. The client should avoid getting pregnant for 3 months after the vaccine because the vaccine
has teratogenic effects Correct Ans-4. The client must understand that she must not
become pregnant for 3 months after the vaccination because of its potential teratogenic
effects. The rubella vaccine is made from duck eggs so an allergic reaction may occur in clients
with egg allergies. The virus is not transmitted into the breast milk, so clients may continue to
breastfeed after the vaccination. Transient arthralgia and rash are common adverse effects of
the vaccine.
