    A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a parent of a preschooler about immunizations. Which of the following statements by the parent indicates an understanding of the teaching?

    Explanation & Rationale

    This statement demonstrates an understanding of the concept of spacing out immunizations to reduce the number of shots given during a single visit. By making multiple office visits, the parent can ensure that their child receives the recommended immunizations while minimizing the number of injections at each visit. Lactose intolerance is not a contraindication to receiving immunizations. Most vaccines do not contain lactose, and even if they do, the amount present is typically minimal and not expected to cause an adverse reaction in individuals with lactose intolerance. The first flu immunization is typically recommended for children starting at 6 months of age, not at 6 years of age. The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is typically recommended for preteens and adolescents, usually starting between the ages of 11 and 12. It is not typically administered when a child enters kindergarten.
