Explanation

A. Pertussis primarily affects the respiratory tract rather than just the nostrils.

B. Pertussis is caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis, making it a bacterial infection, not viral.

C. The bacteria release toxins that damage the cilia of the epithelial cells in the respiratory tract, disrupting their function.

D. Inflammation occurs in the lungs and airway due to the infection, contributing to symptoms such as cough.

E. The infection leads to excessive secretions that are difficult to expel, resulting in the characteristic whooping cough associated with pertussis.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. The meningococcal (MCV4) vaccine is typically recommended for preteens and adolescents, usually starting at age 11.

B. The hepatitis B vaccine is typically administered at birth, 1-2 months, and 6-18 months, so a 4-year-old may already have received this vaccine.

C. The varicella (VAR) vaccine is recommended for children at ages 12-15 months and again at 4-6 years, making it appropriate for a 4-year-old child.

D. The Haemophilus influenza type b (Hib) vaccine is usually given to children in a series before 5 years of age, but it is more commonly completed by age 2-3 years. The 4-year-old may already be up to date with this vaccine.
