Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
Clients diagnosed with HIV/AIDS need secondary prevention services. To screen effectively for the presence of this condition, a test should be backed by a healthcare infrastructure that can implement programs of care for people who have a verified risk of the disease or physical challenge. The other rationales for placement of the clinic are not based on the tenets of secondary prevention.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, B, D
Feedback:
Tertiary prevention includes rehabilitation and palliative care. Nurses providing this level of care assess disease progression, watch for opportunistic infections, and control pain or other side effects of treatment. Care also includes supporting life choices that bring emotional comfort to clients such as family involvement, decreased isolation, supportive spiritual development, and organized help from communities. Isolation and diminished involvement of significant others do not enhance the client's health and well-being and are not examples of tertiary prevention.
