For each potential nursing action, click to specify if the potential action is anticipated or contraindicated for the client.

A) "My baby will receive the rotavirus immunization orally.":
This statement is correct. The rotavirus vaccine is given orally in two or three doses depending on the specific vaccine used (Rotarix or RotaTeq). The vaccine is administered in the mouth and helps protect against rotavirus infections, which can cause severe diarrhea in infants and young children.

B) "I should expect my baby to have a high fever for 24 hours after an immunization.":
This statement is incorrect. While it is common for infants to experience mild side effects after immunizations, such as a low-grade fever or irritability, a high fever is not typically expected. If the baby develops a high fever (above 100.4°F), the guardian should seek advice from the healthcare provider, as it could indicate a reaction or infection.

C) "I should not feed my baby anything for hours prior to an immunization.":
This statement is incorrect. There is no need to withhold feeding before an immunization, and the baby should be fed as usual. In fact, feeding the infant before the appointment may help comfort them and reduce stress during the visit.

D) "My baby will receive three doses of the meningococcal immunization before kindergarten.":
This statement is incorrect. The meningococcal vaccine is typically administered starting at age 11, with a second dose given at age 16. For infants and young children, the vaccine is not part of the routine immunization schedule. Meningococcal vaccination before kindergarten is not recommended for infants at 2 months of age.

A) Bran muffin:
Bran is high in fiber, which is beneficial for managing constipation. Fiber helps to promote bowel movements by adding bulk to stool and improving gut motility. A bran muffin is an excellent choice for a client with constipation because it is rich in insoluble fiber, which is particularly effective in relieving constipation.

B) Tomato juice:
While tomato juice can provide some vitamins and nutrients, it is low in fiber, which is essential for managing constipation. For constipation relief, it is better to choose foods high in fiber, such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.

C) Puffed rice cereal:
Puffed rice cereal is low in fiber, making it an unsuitable choice for someone with constipation. Although it may provide some calories, it does not offer the beneficial fiber that can help relieve constipation.

D) Cottage cheese:
Cottage cheese is low in fiber and high in protein, but it does not contribute to bowel regularity. For constipation management, it is crucial to choose foods that are high in fiber, like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, rather than low-fiber foods like cottage cheese.
