Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: The nursing diagnosis for this client was altered fluid status. Although a viral infection may be the cause of the symptoms she observed, it would be a medical diagnosis. Increased heart rate and fever are two signs of an altered fluid status.

Answer to Question 2

B, C, D
Feedback:
HIV lipodystrophy is a metabolic alteration characterized by changes in the distribution of body fat and metabolism. It may also cause insulin resistance, hypertriglyceridemi a, and excess fat in liver and skeletal muscles. The significant changes in body shape may lead to social stigmatization.
