2024 PN NCLEX Questions Nursing Practice Question
A client can receive the Mumps, Measles, Rubella (MMR) vaccine if he or she:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Receiving the MMR vaccine is safe for individuals who have a mild illness, such as a cold, as it does not significantly impair the immune response.
Option A (is pregnant) is incorrect; live vaccines like MMR are generally avoided during pregnancy due to potential risks to the fetus.
Option B (is immunocompromised) is also incorrect; individuals with weakened immune systems should not receive live vaccines due to the risk of vaccine-related complications.
Option C (is allergic to neomycin) is wrong; while neomycin is present in some vaccines, a severe allergy to it is a contraindication for MMR administration.
