A school nurse is informed that a student has recently been diagnosed with idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura. The nurse should identify that which of the following scheduled vaccines should be withheld?

A. Calcium Calcium is primarily responsible for bone health, nerve transmission, and muscle contraction. While it plays a minor role in the blood-clotting phase of wound healing, it is not a primary nutrient targeted to speed up the healing of an open soft-tissue leg wound.

B. Vitamin D Vitamin D works in tandem with calcium for bone mineralization and supports immune function. While important for overall health, it is not as directly involved in the cellular repair of a dermal wound as protein, Vitamin C, or Zinc are.

C. Protein Protein is the most critical nutrient for wound healing. It is essential for collagen synthesis, tissue repair, and the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis). When a client has an open wound, the body enters a hypermetabolic state that requires significant amounts of amino acids to rebuild the skin and underlying tissues.

D. Fats While fats provide a concentrated source of energy and are necessary for cell membrane integrity, they are generally not the nutrient of focus when a client is struggling with wound healing. The body typically has enough stored adipose tissue to meet the energy demands of healing unless the client is severely malnourished.

A. Recommend frequent hot baths: Heat exposure can worsen multiple sclerosis symptoms by increasing nerve conduction impairment. Hot baths may exacerbate fatigue, weakness, and neurologic deficits, making symptom management more difficult. Clients with MS are advised to avoid excessive heat.

B. Encourage the client to restrict performing range-of-motion exercises: Range-of-motion exercises are encouraged to maintain flexibility, prevent contractures, and support mobility in clients with multiple sclerosis. Restricting movement can lead to muscle stiffness and functional decline. Activity should be balanced with rest, not avoided.

C. Initiate contact precautions: Multiple sclerosis is a noninfectious, autoimmune neurologic disorder and does not require isolation precautions. Implementing contact precautions is unnecessary and may negatively impact the client’s psychosocial wellbeing. Standard precautions are sufficient.

D. Monitor the client's ability to perform ADLs: Multiple sclerosis can cause progressive physical and cognitive changes that affect self-care abilities. Monitoring activities of daily living helps identify functional decline early and guides referrals for occupational therapy and adaptive strategies. Ongoing assessment supports individualized care planning and safety.
