  1. Use contraceptives for the next 3 months
  2. Come back to the center 72 hours later to monitor the injection site
  3. Avoid eggs
  4. Monitor for signs of encephalopathy
Explanation
Answer - A - The nurse should advise the patient not to become pregnant for 3 months until the rubella virus is no longer active. Getting pregnant immediately after the immunization may cause deafness, mental and motor challenges, and cardiac defects to the fetus. The other options are not appropriate.
