It is highly recommended that clients with asthma, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema have Pneumovax and flu vaccinations for which of the following reasons?
  1. All clients are recommended to have these vaccines.
  2. These vaccines produce bronchodilation and improve oxygenation.
  3. These vaccines help reduce the tachypnea these clients experience.
  4. Respiratory infections can cause severe hypoxia and possibly death in these clients.
Explanation
Answer - D - It’s highly recommended that clients with respiratory disorders be given vaccines to protect against respiratory infection. Infections can cause these clients to need intubation and mechanical ventilation, and it may be difficult to wean these clients from the ventilator. The vaccines have no effect on respiratory rate or bronchodilation.
