    A nurse is preparing to administer recommended immunizations to an 11-year-old child who is up-to-date with current immunizations. Which of the following immunizations should the nurse plan to administer?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) vaccination is typically given to infants and toddlers, not to children who are 11 years old. The child would likely have already received this vaccine as part of their early childhood immunizations. B. Hepatitis A vaccination is recommended for children, but it is typically given earlier in childhood (around 1 year of age), and would not be given at 11 years old unless it is part of a catch-up schedule. C. Rotavirus vaccination is given to infants, and by the age of 11, the child should have completed the recommended series. D. The Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is recommended for children ages 11 to 12 years, making it appropriate for this child. The nurse should plan to administer the HPV vaccine as part of routine immunizations for this age group.
