A patient comes into the office and states on her health history that she has never had the measles immunization but states that her children currently are infected with the measles virus. Who should not be treating the patient?
the 22-year-old receptionist who has not been immunized
the 30-year-old assistant who is 6 weeks pregnant and was immunized as a child
the 48-year-old dentist who was immunized as a child
the 40-year-old hygienist who was immunized as a child
the 30-year-old assistant who is 6 weeks pregnant and was immunized as a child
Rationale: the 30-year-old assistant who is 6 weeks pregnant and was immunized as a child – Even though she has been immunized, the measles immunization usually requires a booster at the age of 21, and she is also pregnant. The measles virus can pose a severe risk to the developing fetus.
