Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
The second stage of the grief process related to HIV diagnosis is denial; an appropriate outcome related to this stage is acknowledging the reality of the diagnosis. Outcomes related to safer sex, the etiology of AIDS, and treatment options are not directly related to the characteristics of this stage of the grief process.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
The frequency of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts may increase in clients who are informed of the presence of HIV infection or AIDS, especially if they have inadequate social or financial support, experience relapses, or face difficult social issues relating to their sexual identity or sexual preferences. Bisexuality, urban setting, and drug therapy are not known to be related to suicide risk.
