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.

A. "Avoid triggers that cause an attack." B. "Take the mast cell stabilizer cromolyn sodium at the first sign of breathing difficulty." C. "Use the peak expiratory flow meter once per week." D. "You should stop playing basketball, but you can swim instead."

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Avoiding triggers that cause an asthma attack is crucial in managing asthma effectively and should be emphasized in education.

B. Cromolyn sodium is a preventive medication and should be taken regularly, not just at the first sign of difficulty; immediate relief medications are preferred during an attack.

C. The peak expiratory flow meter should be used daily to monitor asthma control, rather than just once a week.

D. It is generally not necessary for the child to stop playing sports; many children with asthma can participate in activities like basketball as long as their condition is well-managed.
