Question 1 of 5.
When a rubella vaccine is administered to a client who delivered a healthy newborn 2 days ago, the nurse provides instructions to the client regarding the potential risks associated with this vaccination. Which statement by the client indicates an understanding of the medication?
A. I need to stay out of the sunlight for 3 days.
B. The injection site may itch, but I can scratch it if I need to.
C. I need to avoid sexual intercourse for 2 to 3 days after the vaccination.
D. I need to prevent becoming pregnant for 2 to 3 months after the vaccination.
Explanation: Rubella vaccine is a live attenuated virus that evokes an antibody response and provides immunity for approximately 15 years. Because rubella is a live vaccine, it will act as the virus and is potentially teratogenic in the organogenesis phase of fetal development. The client needs to be informed about the potential effects this vaccine may have and the need to avoid becoming pregnant for a period of 2 to 3 months afterward. Sunlight has no effect on the person who is vaccinated. The vaccine may cause local or systemic reactions, but all are mild and short-lived. Abstinence from sexual intercourse is not necessary, unless another form of effective contraception is not being used.
