Final answer:

The nurse should reassure the parent that the loss of appetite after the hepatitis A immunization should only last for a couple of days.


Explanation:

The nurse should tell the parent that this reaction should only last for a couple of days. Loss of appetite is a common side effect after immunizations, including the hepatitis A vaccine. It is usually temporary and should resolve on its own. There is no need for immediate concern or antidote administration unless severe symptoms develop.
