Answer to Question 1

A
People infected with HIV develop antibodies to the virus and become HIV positive. Not every-one who is HIV positive will progress with the disease and develop AIDS, the most severe form of the disease.

Answer to Question 2

A
Cyclizine is an antiemetic drug. Most of these drugs cause drowsiness as a side effect. The nurse must instruct the patient to call for help when getting out of bed and make sure that the call light is within easy reach. This is especially important because this is the patient's first dose of the drug and its effects for this patient are unknown.
