The nurse does health teaching with a client who has acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and who has been started on antiviral medications. The nurse recognizes that teaching has been effective when the client makes which statement?
 
  1. I will need to limit my travel to avoid people with other infections.
  2. I will need to be on a high-calorie diet to enhance the effect of the medication.
  3. I will still need to take precautions to avoid spreading the virus to others.
  4. I will not be able to continue working at my high-stress job anymore.

Question 2

The client with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) asks the nurse why he must take so many medications. What is the best response by the nurse?
 
  1. To decrease the possibility of the virus developing resistance to the medications.
  2. Research has shown single medications to be ineffective.
  3. Because the earlier we start multiple medications, the better for you.

Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: There is no need to limit travel at this point.
Rationale 2: A well-balanced diet is the best diet for a client with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).
Rationale 3: Precautions are still necessary to avoid spreading the virus to others.
Rationale 4: A high-stress job is not ideal, but at this point the client doesn't need to stop working.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Decreasing the possibility of resistance is the key; single drugs can be effective, but viral resistance is a problem.
Rationale 2: Multiple medications will provide the best treatment, but this is not as good an answer as avoiding drug resistance.
Rationale 3: It is debatable if multiple drugs should be used early in the course of the disease.
Rationale 4: Single medications can be effective, but drug resistance is more likely the reason.
