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 with a mild illness, such as a cold, as it does not significantly affect the immune response.
Option A, being pregnant, is a contraindication for live vaccines like MMR due to potential risks to the fetus. Option B, immunocompromised individuals, should avoid live vaccines to prevent serious complications. Option C, an allergy to neomycin, can lead to severe allergic reactions and is a contraindication for the MMR vaccine, which contains this antibiotic. Thus, only those with a mild cold can safely receive the vaccine.
