Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Multiple medications are required throughout the day. The higher the number of medications taken daily equates with a higher noncompliance rate.
Rationale 2: A lack of understanding could be a factor, but it is the schedule of taking multiple drugs that leads to noncompliance.
Rationale 3: Some medications may cause weight gain, but this is not a primary reason for noncompliance.
Rationale 4: Medications are generally available for clients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) today.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: The viral load, not a CD4 count, is the best test.
Rationale 2: The viral load is an actual count of viral presence, and is the best test.
Rationale 3: The viral load, not a T4 lymphocyte count, is the best test.
Rationale 4: The viral load, not an absolute neutrophil count, is the best test.
