Answer to Question 1

3. Provide assistance with meals and eating

Rationale:
The client with visual disturbances might have difficulty maintaining good nutrition. The nurse should assist the client with meals and eating as necessary. The nurse should not turn out the lights in the room. The bed rails should be kept in the up position for client safety. Assessing coping mechanisms would be appropriate for the nursing diagnosis of anxiety.

Answer to Question 2

1. Have you ever experimented with recreational drugs?

Rationale:
Use of recreational drugs is a risk factor for contracting aids. Since the client is already diagnosed, asking how long the client has had AIDS does not constitute a risk factor. The nurse cannot ask about the partner without the partner's consent;however, if the partner was present and positive, it would be a risk factor. Asking about recent symptoms is not a risk factor.
