Answer to Question 1

F
Antiretroviral therapy cannot cure herpes, but it can decrease the duration of symptoms and infectiousness.

Answer to Question 2

C
Enemas are used to promote bowel function only if the older adult does not have full control of the voluntary muscles used to evacuate the bowel. Stool softeners and suppositories are the laxative methods of choice because they promote normal bowel evacuation. Responses A, B, and D all are nursing interventions that promote bowel function. Ambulating Mr. Wagner to the bathroom is an excellent way to increase ambulation.
