Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Extensive research has led to the discovery of the virus that is believed to cause AIDS. Beginning as a benign simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) found in the African chimpanzee population, AIDS evolved into a human killer in the early 1930s, long before it was recognized as a disease in 1981. The virus was originally named HTLV-III (human T-cell lymphotropic virus), then renamed human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HIV is carried in the blood, blood products, and body fluids such as semen. It is primarily transmitted through intimate sexual contact or the sharing of needles by IV drug users.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
The woman's safety supersedes the importance of education and dressing changes, though all of these are appropriate interventions when conducted at the appropriate time.
