A nurse is preparing to administer immunizations to a 4-year-old child who is up to date on current immunizations. Which of the following immunizations should the nurse plan to administer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A.
Rotavirus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
B.
Hepatitis B (Hep B).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C.
Varicella.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
D.
Haemophilus influenza (Hib)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a 4-year-old child who is up to date on current immunizations, the following vaccines are generally administered based on typical immunization schedules:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A. Rotavirus<\/strong> – This vaccine is usually given to infants. By the age of 4, the child would typically have completed the series, and this vaccine is not routinely given at this age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n B. Hepatitis B (Hep B)<\/strong> – This vaccine is typically administered at birth, 1-2 months, and 6-18 months. A 4-year-old should have already received this vaccine series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n C. Varicella<\/strong> – The varicella vaccine, which protects against chickenpox, is usually given as a series of two doses, the first dose between 12-15 months and the second dose between 4-6 years of age. Therefore, a 4-year-old is due for the second dose if it has not already been administered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n D. Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib)<\/strong> – The Hib vaccine is generally administered to children younger than 5 years old, typically at 2, 4, 6, and 12-15 months of age. By age 4, the child should have completed this series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Conclusion:<\/strong> The appropriate vaccine to administer to a 4-year-old child who is up to date on their immunizations would be the Varicella<\/strong> vaccine if they are due for the second dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The correct answer is C.
