Community Health Nursing Interview Question

Published

I had an interview recently and one of the questions was who would you immunize first if a young mother comes in with a 2 month old in her lap and a 2 year old and a five year old. I wasn't sure if I answered the question properly any answers out there would be helpful. Thanks

I would ask if they had their immun cards, were they up to date? Have they ever been immunized? Wasthe 5 year old already in kindergarten...because if he is then you know he already has had his immunes for school (unless the parent signed the waiver). Hard to answer a question with not enough info, maybe they just wanted to see how you think on your feet.

So what did you say? This would make a great homework question.

The simple answer - 5, 2yr, 2mo. Let's do the one who will be most apprehensive first.
