Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: The goal of HAART is to reduce the plasma level of HIV to the lowest possible level.
Rationale 2: Elimination from the lymph system does not mean the client has been cured, because the virus might exist elsewhere in the body.
Rationale 3: HAART does not reduce the side effects associated with other HIV-AIDS drugs.
Rationale 4: Elimination from the blood does not mean the client has been cured, because the virus might exist elsewhere in the body.
Global Rationale: The goal of HAART is to reduce the replication of HIV as much as possible, as measured by a reduction in plasma HIV RNA to its lowest possible (or undetectable) level. Elimination from the blood and lymph system does not mean the client has been cured, because the virus might exist elsewhere in the body. HAART does not reduce side effects of other treatment regimens.
