The nurse is providing prenatal teaching to a client who just learned she is pregnant. The client asks, Will my baby be born with HIV because I am HIV-positive? The nurse's most accurate response is:
 
  1. Yes, because HIV is transmitted through the shared maternal-fetal circulation.
  2. Yes, because the baby will come in contact with your blood during delivery.
  3. Not necessarily, if you take your prescribed ZDV and deliver by C-section.
  4. No, the doctor will make sure to take all the necessary precautions to prevent that.

Question 2

Legal implications for the use of restraints include the principle of
 
  1. Convenience

  3. Least restriction
  4. Monitoring
  5.

Answer to Question 1

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: Clients should not be restrained for staff convenience.
