NAPLEX (North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination) Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 1820

What is DT used for in children under 7 years old?

Routine vaccine series with CI to acellular pertussis antigen

DT (Diphtheria and Tetanus) is used as a routine vaccine series for children under 7 years old because they are at a higher risk for contracting these diseases due to their rapidly developing immune systems. Option B is incorrect because it refers to a booster shot given at a later age, which is not the primary use of DT for children under 7. Option C is incorrect because wound prophylaxis is not a possible use for DT. Option D is incorrect because it refers to a specific population (adults with asplenia) and not the intended use for children under 7.
