A 2-month-old infant requires routine immunizations during a pediatric wellness visit. To ensure safe preventative care, in what chronological sequence should the practical nurse complete the following actions?
- 1Screen the infant for current acute illnesses and any immunization contraindications.
- 2Provide the parent with the most current Vaccine Information Statements (VIS).
- 3Obtain verbal consent from the parent to proceed with the requested immunizations.
- 4Perform hand hygiene and prepare the injections using strict aseptic technique.
- 5Administer the vaccines into the vastus lateralis muscle and provide comfort measures.
Cevap
The correct sequence prioritizes safety screening, followed by education, consent, aseptic preparation, and finally administration.
Safe vaccination practice dictates a logical and safe progression: the nurse must first verify the client is safe to receive the vaccine (screening), provide required legal education (VIS), secure permission to treat (consent), maintain infection control during preparation (aseptic technique), and finally deliver the injection safely (administration).
