Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Caution must be exercised when prescribing psychotropic drugs to clients taking protease inhibitors. Antidepressants and antipsychotics are prescribed at 25 of the usual recommended dose. Benzodiazepines should be avoided because they compromise cognitive function.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Nichols describes a four-stage process of grieving for the client with AIDS. The second stage is denial, in which the person may attempt to ignore the diagnosis of AIDS. Although it may serve a necessary psychic function, this denial can cause the client to engage in behaviors that are both self-destructive and potentially dangerous to others. Some clients begin to plunge into complete isolation, avoiding human contact as much as possible.
