    A nurse is providing teaching about immunizations to a client who is pregnant. The nurse should inform the client that she can receive which of the following immunizations during pregnancy? (Select all that apply.)

    Explanation & Rationale

    Rationale: A. Inactivated influenza vaccine: The inactivated influenza vaccine is safe during any trimester of pregnancy and helps protect both the mother and the fetus from influenza-related complications. It is routinely recommended for pregnant clients during flu season. B. Varicella vaccine: The varicella vaccine is a live attenuated vaccine and is contraindicated during pregnancy because it poses a risk of fetal infection and congenital abnormalities. It should be administered before pregnancy or postponed until after delivery. C. Tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis vaccine: The Tdap vaccine is recommended during pregnancy, ideally between 27 and 36 weeks gestation, to protect the newborn from pertussis. It is safe and provides passive immunity to the infant. D. Inactivated polio vaccine: Inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) is safe during pregnancy and can be administered if the client is at risk for exposure or requires immunization. Live attenuated oral polio vaccine is contraindicated. E. Rubella vaccine: The rubella vaccine is a live attenuated vaccine and is contraindicated during pregnancy due to the risk of congenital rubella syndrome. Women should be screened for immunity prior to pregnancy and vaccinated if nonimmune before conception.
