    A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the guardian of a 2-month-old infant about immunizations. Which of the following statements by a guardian indicates an understanding of the teaching?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Choice A reason: Meningococcal vaccine starts at 11-12 years, not infancy; three doses by kindergarten is incorrect. Scientifically, this misaligns with CDC schedules, as 2-month-olds get other vaccines (e.g., DTaP), showing misunderstanding of immunization timing.Choice B reason: No feeding restriction exists for immunizations; fasting isn’t required. Scientifically, nutrition supports immune response, and this contradicts standard practice, as feeding doesn’t affect vaccine efficacy or safety, indicating a preparation misconception.Choice C reason: High fever for 24 hours isn’t typical; mild fever may occur but not guaranteed. Scientifically, this exaggerates normal vaccine reactions (e.g., low-grade fever), misrepresenting expected immune responses, suggesting inaccurate outcome expectations.Choice D reason: Rotavirus vaccine is oral at 2 months, per CDC schedule, aligning with its live attenuated form. Scientifically, this reflects correct administration knowledge, as it targets gut immunity, showing the guardian understands this immunization’s delivery accurately.
