Which immunization will the nurse teach to the mothers that can assist in preventing the life-threatening disease epiglottitis?

Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR)

Diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (DTaP)

Hepatitis B

Hemophilus influenzae type B (Hib)

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

a) Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR): Does not directly protect against epiglottitis.

b) Diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (DTaP): While important for other diseases, does not directly prevent epiglottitis.

c) Hepatitis B: Provides immunity against hepatitis B, not epiglottitis.

d) Hemophilus influenzae type B (Hib): The Hib vaccine specifically targets Haemophilus influenzae type B bacteria, which is the main cause of epiglottitis. Immunization with the Hib vaccine has dramatically reduced the incidence of epiglottitis and other serious infections caused by Hib.
