Answer to Question 1

C
The nurse provides pretest and posttest counseling to the client regarding transmission, preventions, and risk reduction. Testing for HIV requires that an informed consent be signed prior to testing. The nurse will ensure the consent has been signed prior to the testing.

Answer to Question 2

B
Leukemia is classified as either acute or chronic. Acute leukemia can be further classified as acute myelogenous (AML) or acute lymphocytic (ALL). These conditions have a rapid onset, presenting with bruising and recurrent infections. ALL occurs most frequently in children from 2 to 6 years of age, whereas AML occurs most frequently in adolescence and after age 55.
