Answer:

The statement by which the mother best indicates that she understands the implications of rubella:

  • "I'll call my neighbor who's 2 months pregnant and tell her not to have contact with my son."

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Rubella is also known as German measles. It causes mild fever and this disease is preventable.
  • But this disease can cause severe harm during the pregnancy like the damage of developing heart, brain or eyes in unborn baby especially in the first 20 weeks of the pregnancy.
  • So, that's the mother is saying that she will warn her neighbor who is 8 weeks or 2 months pregnant not to have contact with her son.
