Answer to Question 1

1
A CD4+ count of less than 200 cells/mcL is used as a criterion to establish the diagnosis of AIDS. In cell counts less than 500 to 600 cells/mcL, antiviral therapy should be initiated. Cell counts greater than 600 cells/mcL are in the normal range.

Answer to Question 2

1
The emergent period is the first 24 to 48 hours after a burn. The acute phase begins after the emergent period ends and lasts until the burn is healed. The rehabilitation period begins with wound closure and continues until the patient has reached the highest level of functioning.
