Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
The most serious psychosocial problems occur for those clients who actually have the disease. Most people with AIDS are relatively young, were previously healthy, and had not experienced a major medical illness. The confirmation of this diagnosis can be catastrophic for the client, eliciting a series of emotional and social reactions, including the following:
 A loss of self-esteem
 Fear of the loss of physical attractiveness and rapid changes in body image
 Feelings of isolation and stigmatization
 An overwhelming sense of hopelessness and helplessness
 A loss of control over their lives

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Young children are not at risk unless their mothers carry the AIDS virus and transmit it during delivery. Other groups at higher risk for contracting the AIDS virus are as follows:
 African American and Hispanic populations
 Homosexual and bisexual men who do not practice safe sex
 Heterosexual IV drug users
 Homosexual and bisexual men who also use IV drugs
 Heterosexual men and women who have had sex with a person from one of the previously mentioned groups
 Persons with hemophilia and others who have received blood transfusions
 Infants born to mothers carrying the AIDS virus
 Persons who are occupationally exposed (CDC, 2001)
