Answer to Question 1

Cervical cancer is a frequent clinical manifestation of HIV infection in women.

Endometrial, ovarian, and breast cancer are not common manifestations of HIV infection.

Unfortunately, the nurse may sustain an accidental stick with a contaminated needle. If this occurs, these procedures should be followed: Immediately wash the area thoroughly with germicidal soap and water. Encourage bleeding from this puncture wound, if possible. Report the incident to the Employee Health Service or Safety Officer immediately. An exposure risk assessment will be done. Fill out an incident report.
