A nurse is providing teaching to the guardians of an infant who require a pavlik harness.
Which instructions should the nurse include?

Choice A rationale

The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is not typically given at 12 months of age. It is usually administered to adolescents.

Choice B rationale

The inactivated polio virus vaccine is not typically given at 12 months of age. It is usually administered earlier in infancy.

Choice C rationale

The hepatitis B vaccine is not typically given at 12 months of age. It is usually administered shortly after birth and in the first few months of life.

Choice D rationale

The varicella vaccine, which protects against chickenpox, is typically given at 12 months of age.

Choice A rationale

A child’s weight being in the 45th percentile is within the normal range and is not in itself an indicator of physical abuse.

Choice B rationale

Bruising around the wrists can be a potential indicator of physical abuse. Unexplained bruises, particularly in unusual locations or in specific patterns, can be a sign of physical abuse.

Choice C rationale

Abrasions on the knees are common in children due to normal play and activity and are not typically an indicator of physical abuse.

Choice D rationale

Missing front deciduous teeth in a 7-year-old student is not typically an indicator of physical abuse. It is normal for children to begin losing their deciduous (baby) teeth around this age.
