NUR 3540: INFECTION AND HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS INFECTION

LEWIS: MEDICALSURGICAL NURSING, 10TH EDITION EXAM WITH ANSWERS.




1. The nurse is advising a clinic patient who was exposed a week ago to human

immunodeficiency virus (HIV) through unprotected sexual intercourse. The patient’s antigen and

antibody test has just been reported as negative for HIV. What instructions should the nurse give to

this patient?



a. “You will need to be retested in 2 weeks.”



b. “You do not need to fear infecting others.”



c. “Since you don’t have symptoms and you have had a negative test, you do not have HIV).”



d. “We won’t know for years if you will develop acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).”



ANS: AHIV screening tests detect HIVspecific antibodies or antigens, but typically it takes a

several week delay after initial infection before HIV can be detected on a screening test.

Combination antibody and antigen tests (also known as fourthgeneration tests) decrease the window

period to within 3 weeks after infection. It is not known based on this information whether the

patient is infected with HIV or can infect others.

, 2. A patient who has a positive test for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibodies is admitted to

established by the Centers for Disease Control

and Prevention (CDC), which statement by the nurse is correct?



a. “The patient will develop symptomatic HIV infection within 1 year.”



b. “The patient meets the criteria for a diagnosis of acute HIV infection.”



c. “The patient will be diagnosed with asymptomatic chronic HIV infection.”



d. “The patient has developed acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).”

virus (HIV) is anxious and does not appear to hear what the nurse is saying. What action by the

nurse is most important at this time?

,a. Teach the patient how to reduce risky behaviors.



b. Inform the patient about the available treatments.

, c. Remind the patient about the need to return for retesting to verify the results.



d. Ask the patient to identify individuals who had intimate contact with the patient.




ANS: CAfter an initial positive antibody test result, the next step is retesting to confirm the results.

disclose information about the HIV status of other individuals.

c. “Can you tell me more about the thoughts that you are having?”
