Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Administering the rubella vaccine during pregnancy, including the third trimester, is contraindicated due to the risk of live vaccine transmission to the fetus. It is not recommended at any stage of pregnancy.

Choice B rationale

Advising the client to get the vaccine during her next pregnancy attempt is partly correct but lacks the immediacy needed to ensure she is immune before the next pregnancy. The vaccine should be given postpartum.

Choice C rationale

Administering the vaccine immediately during pregnancy is contraindicated due to potential risks to the fetus. Rubella vaccines contain live virus, which can cause fetal harm if given during pregnancy.

Choice D rationale

It is safest to administer the rubella vaccine postpartum, prior to hospital discharge, to ensure the client has immunity before any future pregnancies. This timing prevents any risk to the current fetus and ensures future fetal protection. .

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Copious vernix is typically found on preterm newborns, not those born post-term.

Choice B rationale

Dry, cracked skin is a common finding in post-term newborns due to prolonged exposure to amniotic fluid.

Choice C rationale

Decreased subcutaneous fat is more likely in preterm newborns, while post-term newborns might lose some fat due to nutrient depletion.

Choice D rationale

Scant scalp hair is more common in preterm infants, whereas post-term infants usually have more developed hair. .
