Answer to Question 1

D
Issues of disclosure, privacy, and confidentiality are an important concern when working with patients or peers infected with blood-borne illnesses such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or acquired immunodeficiency virus (AIDS), hepatitis, and sexually transmitted illnesses. A nurse will care for patients with these illnesses in every segment of nursing practice. A nurse should always use standard precautions as a standard of care when caring for all patients. The 1995 American Disabilities Act (ADA) applies to persons with AIDS. This federal law protects the rights of disabled people and HIV-infected patients.

Answer to Question 2

A
Accurate information must be present for nurses to make ongoing clinical decisions. As nurses evaluate expected outcomes, they decide if interventions have been appropriate. Unmet or partially met goals will then require nurses to continue the present intervention.
