HESI LPN Exit Exam IV Proctored Exam
At the outpatient clinic, the practical nurse (PN) talks to a male client whose spouse is being treated for cancer with chemotherapy. The client tells the PN the reason he does not want a seasonal influenza vaccination is because the vaccination will increase the risk to his spouse. How should the PN respond?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Reviewing the prognosis for the spouse does not address the immediate concern about the influenza vaccination’s impact on the spouse’s health. B. Explaining that the influenza vaccination will actually help reduce the risk of transmission of influenza to the spouse undergoing chemotherapy addresses the client’s concern and provides accurate information. C. Planning the vaccination for a day when the spouse is not receiving chemotherapy does not resolve the underlying issue of the vaccination’s effectiveness and safety. D. Determining when the spouse will finish chemotherapy is not relevant to the immediate concern of the vaccination and its effects on the spouse’s health.
