Correct Answer is D

Explanation

This group of individuals is not typically contraindicated for the varicella vaccine. In fact, older adults who have not been previously vaccinated or have not had chickenpox are often encouraged to receive the vaccine.

The varicella vaccine is produced using embryonated chicken eggs. Individuals with a severe allergy to eggs (such as anaphylaxis) should avoid this vaccine. However, most people with mild egg allergies can safely receive it. A healthcare provider should assess the severity of the egg allergy before making a decision.

There is no known contraindication between the varicella vaccine and the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. These vaccines target different infections and can be administered independently.

Individuals with advanced immunosuppression, including those with AIDS, should not receive the varicella vaccine. Their weakened immune system may not respond effectively to the vaccine, and there is a risk of disseminated varicella infection.

A. Have the client take the medication on an empty stomach to avoid interactions. B. Consult a drug reference guide for possible interactions. C. Ask another nurse if they are aware of potential interactions. D. Check the client's medical record for medication and food interactions.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Consulting a reference guide provides information on all potential interactions that may apply for the medication guide. It allows the nurse to give specific and accurate information regarding the drug at hand without generalization.

A- This does not apply to all medications

C-Asking a colleague may not be accurate

D- The clients records may not contain all the relevant information needed
