The nurse is helping an indigent HIV-positive pregnant patient set up a post delivery care plan for her baby. What should the nurse include during that discussion?
A) You understand that you can't breast-feed, right? Even though formula is expensive, you'll need to figure out a way to get it.
B) You're not planning to breast-feed, are you? That would be dangerous for the baby.
C) HIV can be passed to the baby from breast-feeding so it's important that you give the baby formula. You probably can't afford formula, can you?
D) HIV can be passed to the baby from breast-feeding so it's important that you give the baby formula. Formula is pretty expensive so I'll give you some information for places you can contact if you ever need some help getting it.
