C. "I know that I won’t be able to breast-feed my baby now. "
D. "I’ll call my neighbor who is 2 months pregnant and tell her not to have contact with my son.
参考答案:D
解析:
Fetal defects can occur during the first trimester of pregnancy if the pregnant woman gets rubella. Aspirin shouldn’t be given to young children because it has been implicated in the development of Reye’s syndrome. Tylenol should be used instead. Rubella immunization isn’t recommended for children until age 12 to 15 months. Exposure to rubella doesn’t affect a woman’s ability to breast-feed.
