The nurse is working in a support group for clients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Which point is most important for the nurse to stress
A.Avoiding the use of illicit drugs and alcohol.
B.Refraining from telling anyone about the diagnosis.
C.Following safer-sex practices.
D.Telling potential sex partners about the diagnosis, as required by law.
参考答案:C
解析:AIDS clients must follow safer-sex practices to prevent transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus. Although avoiding the use of alcohol and illicit drugs is helpful, the most important point the nurse can make is that drug users can best avoid transmission by using clean needles and disposing of used needles. The AIDS client has no legal obligation to tell anyone about an AIDS diagnosis.
