Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: There is no need to limit travel at this point.
Rationale 2: A well-balanced diet is the best diet for a client with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).
Rationale 3: Precautions are still necessary to avoid spreading the virus to others.
Rationale 4: A high-stress job is not ideal, but at this point the client doesn't need to stop working.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Decreasing the possibility of resistance is the key; single drugs can be effective, but viral resistance is a problem.
Rationale 2: Multiple medications will provide the best treatment, but this is not as good an answer as avoiding drug resistance.
Rationale 3: It is debatable if multiple drugs should be used early in the course of the disease.
Rationale 4: Single medications can be effective, but drug resistance is more likely the reason.
