a. A negative rubella titer indicates that the client is not immune to rubella.
b. Rubella vaccine is contraindicated during pregnancy.
c. A negative rubella titer does not indicate whether the client is currently experiencing a rubella infection.
d. A negative rubella titer means that the client does not have antibodies against the rubella virus, which can cause congenital defects in the fetus if the mother gets infected during pregnancy. Therefore, the client should receive the rubella vaccine after delivery, when it is safe to do so.
