Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2

1. One part of the client assessment is a health history, which can provide clues to current issues. The nurse would ask more specific questions to gain knowledge of the client's sexual experiences.
2. In the past, blood was not screened for the presence of HIV. During the health history, it would be important to ask the client about past blood transfusions.
3. Decreased fluid intake is not associated with HIV.
4. The client with frequent voiding is most likely to have a high glucose level, not HIV.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3

1. A disturbance in the white cell count does not necessarily mean the client will have enlarged lymph nodes.
2. Enlarged lymph nodes are not characteristic of renal failure.
3. The lymphatic system has nodes throughout the body, including the inguinal area.
4. The lymph nodes are not usually enlarged in disorders of the cardiovascular system.
