Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback
A Liquid forms of HIV medications may be foul tasting or have a gritty texture.
Chocolate will help to make these foods more palatable and is liked by most
children.
B Medications should be mixed with nonessential foods.
C Doses of medication should never be skipped.
D Fighting with the child or using force should be avoided. A nonessential food
that will make the taste of the medication more palatable for the child should be
the correct action. The administration of medications for the child with HIV
becomes part of the family's everyday routine for years.

median nerve is lessened. Headaches, however, might deserve attention.

the baby aggravates the condition. Headaches, however, might deserve attention.
