Choice A rationale:

The statement "Avoid breastfeeding for 3 days after receiving the vaccine" is not accurate. Breastfeeding can continue after the MMR vaccination without any adverse effects on the infant. There is no need to interrupt breastfeeding.

Choice B rationale:

The correct instruction is to "Avoid pregnancy for at least 28 days after receiving the vaccine." This is because the MMR vaccine is a live attenuated vaccine, and there is a theoretical risk of transmitting the virus to a developing fetus. Waiting for 28 days after vaccination allows the woman's immune system to respond to the vaccine and reduce any potential risk to the fetus. This is especially important during the postpartum period when a woman may be at risk of becoming pregnant again.

Choice C rationale:

The statement "If you are allergic to gluten, you should not receive this vaccine" is not accurate. The MMR vaccine does not contain gluten as an ingredient. Allergic reactions to the MMR vaccine are generally related to components of the vaccine itself, not gluten.

Choice D rationale:

The instruction to "Your partner should also receive the MMR vaccine" is not a standard recommendation for postpartum women. While it is essential for individuals to be up-to-date on their vaccinations, the focus in this scenario should be on the postpartum woman receiving the MMR vaccine to protect herself and any future pregnancies.

Clamp chest tube when client ambulates. Contraindicated. Clamping the chest tube can cause a tension pneumothorax, which is a life-threatening condition. The chest tube should be kept open and patent at all times, unless ordered by the provider for a specific reason. Report burning pain in chest to provider. Indicated.

Burning pain in the chest may indicate an infection, inflammation, or injury to the pleura or lung tissue. The provider should be notified of any changes in the client’s pain or discomfort.

Reinforce dressing around the tube as needed if it loosens. Indicated. The dressing around the chest tube should be kept dry and intact to prevent air leaks and infection. If the dressing becomes loose, wet, or soiled, it should be reinforced with sterile gauze and tape.

Strip the tubing twice daily to ensure patency. Contraindicated. Stripping or milking the tubing can cause increased negative pressure in the chest cavity, which can damage the lung tissue and impair gas exchange. The tubing should be assessed for kinks, clots, or obstructions, and gently tapped or repositioned if needed.

Maintain chest tube below the chest. Indicated. The chest tube should be kept below the level of the chest to facilitate drainage by gravity and prevent backflow of fluid into the pleural space.
