    A nurse is reviewing the medical record for a child who is scheduled to receive a varicella immunization. Which of the following findings in the client's record should the nurse recognize as a contraindication?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Chemotherapy treatments. Varicella immunization is a live vaccine that can cause mild infection in some people. Chemotherapy treatments can weaken the immune system and make it harder to fight off infections. Therefore, people who are receiving chemotherapy should not get live vaccines. The other options are not contraindications for varicella immunization.
