C
A nurse is preparing to administer a measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) immunization to a child. The nurse
following findings is a contraindication for administration?
History of hypersensitivity to eggs
History of anaphylactic reaction to bee stings
History of anaphylactic reaction to gelatin
History of hypersensitivity to shellfish



Answer :

The contraindication for administering a measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) immunization to a child is a history of hypersensitivity to gelatin. 1. **History of hypersensitivity to eggs:** This is not a contraindication for the MMR immunization as the vaccine does not contain eggs. 2. **History of anaphylactic reaction to bee stings:** This is not a contraindication for the MMR immunization since bee venom and the components of the vaccine are different. 3. **History of anaphylactic reaction to gelatin:** This is a contraindication for administering the MMR vaccine as gelatin is a component of the vaccine and can trigger an allergic reaction in individuals with a known sensitivity to it. 4. **History of hypersensitivity to shellfish:** This is not a contraindication for the MMR immunization as shellfish is not a component of the vaccine. Therefore, the presence of a history of hypersensitivity to gelatin would prevent the nurse from administering the MMR immunization to the child.
