Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Trachoma is a chronic form of conjunctivitis that causes the formation of granulation tissue that is abraded by the lashes, leading to scarring of the cornea and eventual blindness. The other options are not potential complications to this type of conjunctivitis.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

The 1994 Revised HIV Pediatric Classification System remains the standard for determining clinical staging and related treatment for children with HIV. The client described is Category C, a severely symptomatic client with lymphoma and wasting syndrome. The other choices are incorrect.
