"No shots, no school" legislation, which legally requires children be immunized
before school
Vaccines are one of the most effective methods of preventing and controlling
communicable diseases. One of the most effective programs has been the "no
shots, no school" legislation, which has resulted in the immunization of most
children by the time they enter school. Hopefully, all nurses answer questions,
remind colleagues to think about immunizations whenever a child is seen, and
encourage continuing free or low-cost immunization clinics. These interventions
have not been particularly instrumental in reducing childhood infections.

Inform all students, staff, and faculty of a possible measles epidemic.
Measles is an acute, highly contagious disease that, although considered a
childhood illness, is often seen in the United States in adolescents and young
adults. Symptoms include fever, sneezing, coughing, conjunctivitis, small white
spots on the inside of the cheek (Koplik spots), and a red, blotchy rash
beginning several days after the respiratory signs. Measles is serious. Around 10%
of measles cases require hospital admission. It can lead to pneumonia and
encephalitis, and it can kill. Persons who may have been exposed should be
informed that anyone under 18 who has not received both immunization doses
should receive measles vaccine. The student is displaying symptoms of measles,
not rubella. Symptoms of rubella include a low-grade fever, runny nose,
headache, and a rash that starts on the face and spreads to the rest of the
body. The white spots (Koplik spots) should make the nurse suspect that the
client has measles, not just a bad cold in which case the nurse would
recommend the acetaminophen and fluids
An instructor is reviewing Salmonella infections with her class. Which of the
following comments indicates that the student needs further review on how
Salmonella is spread?
a. "Certain pets and farm animals may be Salmonella carriers."
b. "It is possible to transmit Salmonella by person-to-person contact."

c. "Salmonella may be spread by spores that form once contaminated blood is
exposed to the air."
d. "Salmonella outbreaks are usually due to contaminated meat, poultry, and
eggs."
"Salmonella may be spread by spores that form once contaminated blood is
exposed to the air."
Anthrax (not Salmonella) forms spores when infected blood is exposed to air.
Meat, poultry, and eggs are the foods most often associated with salmonellosis
outbreaks. Animals are the common reservoir for the various Salmonella
serotypes, although infected humans may also fill this role. Animals are more
likely to be chronic carriers. Reptiles such as iguanas have been implicated as
Salmonella carriers, along with pet turtles, poultry, cattle, swine, rodents, dogs,
and cats. Person-to-person transmission is an important consideration in
daycare and institutional settings.
Which of the following is the most common vector-borne disease in the United
States?
a. Babesiosis
b. Ehrlichiosis
c. Lyme disease
d. Rocky Mountain spotted fever
