A nurse should review the immunization record for hepatitis B status as a priority for which of these adolescents?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since hepatitis B can be transmitted through contaminated needles, a nurse should prioritize reviewing the immunization record for hepatitis B status for an adolescent who is planning on getting a tattoo. It is important to ensure that the adolescent is up-to-date on their hepatitis B vaccine before undergoing any procedure that involves needles. Chronic acne, overuse injuries, and chronic asthma do not make reviewing the hepatitis B status a priority.
