Practice Question
A nurse is performing a pre-college physical assessment on an adolescent. Which of the following immunizations should the nurse anticipate administering?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine
Rationale:
🏫 Adolescents preparing to enter college are advised to receive the meningococcal vaccine, as close living quarters (e.g., dormitories) increase the risk of meningitis outbreaks.
🏫 The vaccine protects against Neisseria meningitidis, a potentially fatal infection that can cause meningitis and sepsis.
🏫 The CDC recommends a first dose at 11–12 years and a booster at 16 years, aligning with pre-college assessments.
🏫 This vaccine is often required for college admission in many institutions.
