CHAPTER 6: Childhood Communicable and Infectious Diseases


MULTIPLE CHOICE


1. Pertussis vaccination should begin at which age?




a. Birth



b. 2 months



c. 6 months



d. 12 months



ANS: B


The acellular pertussis vaccine is recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics beginning at age 6 weeks.

Infants are at greater risk for complications of pertussis. The vaccine is not given after age 7 years, when the risks of

the vaccine become greater than those of pertussis. The first dose is usually given at the 2-month well-child visit.

Infants are highly susceptible to pertussis, which can be a life-threatening illness in this age group.

2. A mother tells the nurse that she does not want her infant immunized because of the discomfort associated

with injections. What should the nurse explain?

,a. This cannot be prevented.



b. Infants do not feel pain as adults do.



c. This is not a good reason for refusing immunizations.



d. A topical anesthetic can be applied before injections are given.



ANS: D


To minimize the discomfort associated with intramuscular injections, a topical anesthetic agent can be used on the

injection site. These include EMLA (eutectic mixture of local anesthetic) and vapor coolant sprays.Pain associated

with many procedures can be prevented or minimized by using the principles of atraumatic care. Infants have

neural pathways that will indicate pain. Numerous research studies have indicated that infants perceive and react to

pain in the same manner as do children and adults. The mother should be allowed to discuss her concerns and the

alternatives available. This is part of the informed consent process.

3. A 4-month-old infant comes to the clinic for a well-infant checkup. 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 should include which?

,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.



ANS: A


These immunizations can be given safely. Serious illness is a contraindication. A mild illness with or without

fever is not a contraindication.These are not live vaccines, so they do not pose a risk to her sister.

4. Which serious reaction should the nurse be alert for when administering vaccines?




a. Fever



b. Skin irritation



c. Allergic reaction



d. Pain at injection site

, ANS: C


Each vaccine administration carries the risk of an allergic reaction. The nurse must be prepared to intervene if the

child demonstrates signs of a severe reaction. Mild febrile reactions do occur after administration. The nurse

includes management of fever in the parent teaching. Local skin irritation may occur at the injection site after

administration. Parents are informed that this is expected. The injection can be painful. The nurse can minimize the

discomfort with topical analgesics and nonpharmacologic measures.
