Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
HIV infection often leads to marked failure to thrive and multiple nutritional deficiencies. Nutritional management may be difficult because of recurrent illness, diarrhea, and other physical problems. The nurse should implement intensive nutritional interventions if the child's growth begins to slow or weight begins to decrease. Fortifying foods with nutritional supplements will maximize quality of intake. The child does not need to be weighed daily, and high-fat meals and snacks should not be encouraged.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The goal of prevention of bleeding episodes is directed toward decreasing the risk of injury. The child should be handled carefully when transferring to a cart. Brushing teeth, use of tape, and giving analgesics will not risk a bleeding episode.
