    HESI LPN Exit Exam IV Proctored Exam

    A 2-month-old client is brought to the well-baby clinic. The parent is completing the consent forms for routine infant immunizations. Which immunization should the practical nurse (PN) prepare to administer?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Measles Mumps Rubella (MMR) vaccine is typically administered at 12-15 months of age, not at 2 months. It is part of the recommended immunization schedule but is not given during the 2-month visit. B. Varicella vaccine is usually given at 12-15 months of age. It is essential for preventing chickenpox but is not included in the 2-month immunization schedule. C. Hepatitis A vaccine is recommended starting at 12 months of age. It is not part of the immunizations administered at 2 months. D. Hepatitis B vaccine is part of the routine immunization schedule for infants and is given at birth, 1-2 months, and 6-18 months. At the 2-month visit, it is appropriate to administer the second dose of the Hepatitis B vaccine if it was not given at 1 month.
