Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Clients need to have a good understanding of the purpose, actions, side effects, and need for the medication. Clients will be more compliant if this information is worked into their daily routine.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Resistance is a problem with the NNRTIs; therefore combination therapy is indicated.
