- DMy pregnant sister should get the live-attenuated influenza vaccine to protect herself and the baby during flu season.
- EI am going to start toilet training my 12-month-old child this week because he can now stand while holding onto furniture.
Cevap
The correct statements indicate that a 60-year-old should be evaluated for the recombinant zoster vaccine and a 68-year-old should receive a bone density screening for osteoporosis.
Appropriate health promotion across the lifespan includes administering age-appropriate vaccines, such as the recombinant zoster vaccine for adults aged 50 and older, and conducting secondary prevention screenings, such as dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry scans to detect osteoporosis in older adult females. Both of these statements reflect accurate and safe clinical guidelines.
