Correct Answer is D

Explanation

The nurse should recommend the pneumococcal vaccine to the client, as this is recommended for all adults over the age of 65 to prevent pneumococcal disease. Choice A is incorrect because the tuberculosis vaccine is not routinely given to adults in the United States. Choice B is incorrect because the HPV vaccine is recommended primarily for young adults to prevent HPV-related cancers. Choice C is incorrect because the MMR vaccine is recommended for children, and most adults have already received it. Choice A is not correct because the tuberculosis vaccine is not routinely given to adults in the United States.

A. Nonpalpable area of redness, less than 5 mm (0.2 in) in diameter B. Area of ecchymosis, greater than 12 mm (0.5 in) in diameter C. Tenderness at the injection site D. Palpable area of induration, greater than 10 mm (0.4 in) in diameter

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Palpable area of induration, greater than 10 mm (0.4 in) in diameter. This indicates a positive tuberculin skin test (TST) reaction for a person with no known risk factors for TB infection. A positive TST reaction means that the person has been infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium that causes TB disease, and needs further testing to confirm the diagnosis and rule out active TB disease.

The other choices are not correct because:

- Choice A. Nonpalpable area of redness, less than 5 mm (0.2 in) in diameter. This indicates a negative TST reaction for any person, regardless of their risk factors for TB infection. A negative TST reaction means that the person has not been infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis or has a very low level of immune response to the bacterium.

- Choice B. Area of ecchymosis, greater than 12 mm (0.5 in) in diameter. This indicates a bruise or bleeding under the skin, not a TST reaction. Ecchymosis is not caused by the injection of tuberculin purified protein derivative (PPD) into the skin, but by trauma or injury to the blood vessels.

- Choice C. Tenderness at the injection site. This indicates a mild local reaction to the injection of tuberculin PPD into the skin, not a TST reaction. Tenderness is not measured in millimeters of induration (firm swelling), which is the standard way of reading TST results.
