2024 PN NCLEX Questions Nursing Practice Question
In conducting a health screening for 12-month-old children, the nurse expects them to have been immunized against which of the following diseases?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Option B is appropriate as it aligns with the recommended immunization schedule for 12-month-old children, which includes vaccines for diphtheria, pertussis, polio, and tetanus (DPT).
Option A is incorrect because while it includes polio and pertussis, measles and hepatitis B are typically administered later in the immunization schedule.
Option C is also incorrect; while it includes pertussis and polio, rubella and hepatitis A are not standard for this age group.
Option D, although including measles, mumps, rubella, and polio, is not fully relevant since the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine is usually given after the first birthday, making it less applicable at 12 months.
