A nurse is caring for an adolescent client in a community health clinic. Exhibits Which of the following client statements indicate that the nurse's teaching about the immunization was effective? Select all that apply.

A. "I need to have a blood test when I'm an adult to see if I'm still immune." The HPV vaccine does not require a blood test to check for immunity. Once vaccinated, the protection is generally long-lasting, and testing for immunity is unnecessary. B. "This shot will keep me from getting herpes." The HPV vaccine does not protect against herpes, which is caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). The vaccine targets specific strains of HPV that can lead to cancers and genital warts but not herpes. C. "Now I won't need to worry about having Pap smears." Even after receiving the HPV vaccine, it is still important to follow recommended guidelines for Pap smears. The vaccine does not protect against all strains of HPV, so routine screenings remain necessary. D. "This shot can keep me from getting some kinds of cancer." The HPV vaccine helps protect against certain high-risk strains of HPV (like types 16 and 18), which are associated with cancers such as cervical cancer, as well as cancers of the anus, vulva, vagina, penis, and oropharyngeal cancers. E. "I will need a booster shot every 10 years." The HPV vaccine does not require a booster shot every 10 years. A three-dose series is typically given, and no routine boosters are necessary after the initial vaccination series. F. "I need to come back in 2 months for another shot." The HPV vaccine is administered in a three-dose series, with the second dose given 1-2 months after the first and the third dose typically given 6 months after the first dose. G. "My boyfriend should get this shot too." The HPV vaccine is recommended for both males and females. Vaccinating males helps prevent the spread of HPV and protects against related cancers (like penile and oropharyngeal cancers), as well as genital warts.
