2024 PN NCLEX Questions Nursing Practice Question
After reviewing the child's immunization record, which scheduled vaccine should the nurse prepare to administer next?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The next scheduled vaccine for a child typically follows the recommended immunization schedule, which prioritizes DTaP (Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis) during early childhood.
Option A, Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type b), is usually given earlier in infancy and may not be due at this stage.
Option B, IPV (Inactivated Poliovirus Vaccine), is also administered in the first few years but may not be the next in line.
Option C, MMR (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella), is typically given after the first birthday, making it less likely to be the next scheduled vaccine.
Thus, DTaP is the most appropriate choice for timely immunization.
