At an educational session for clients with HIV infection and their support persons, the nurse is asked, If the incidence of AIDS has declined, why is it that its prevalence has increased? The nurse can explain this by saying:
 
  1. This is a statistical aberration; don't let it confuse you.
  2. More people are living longer with both HIV infection and AIDS.
  3. Delays in diagnosis and treatment contribute to the increased death rate.
  4. Transmission to vulnerable populations has affected AIDS surveillance data.

Question 2

A client with AIDS is feeling threatened by his inability to work and take care of the yard and garden as he has always done. Which client outcome is appropriate at this time? The client will:
 
  1. Accept the fact he will not be able to assume previous roles
  2. Realign goals to achieve a positive emotional state
  3. Enlist others to help him carry out his former tasks
  4. Explain his declining state of health to the family

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
The incidence of AIDS began to decline only recently; however, HAART has prolonged the in-terval between HIV infection and development of AIDS and has reduced deaths from AIDS. Consequently, the number of people living with AIDS has increased. Option 1 is an untrue statement. Option 3 is a statement that has no bearing on the issue. Option 4 is a statement un-supported by evidence.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
Goal realignment is necessary since it is not possible for the client to carry out former roles. Op-tion 1 is not stated in behavioral terms. Option 3 does not address the client's need to maintain self-worth and self-esteem. Option 4 is incorrect because the family is not the focus of the ques-tion.
