问题 单项选择题

During a late stage of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), a client demonstrates signs of AIDS-related dementia. The nurse should give the highest priority to which nursing diagnosis

A.Bathing or hygiene self-care deficit.

B.Ineffective cerebral tissue perfusion.

C.Dysfunctional grieving.

D.Risk for injury.

答案

参考答案:D

解析:In a client with AIDS, deterioration of the central nervous system (CNS) can lead to AIDS-related dementia. Because this type of dementia impairs cognition and judgment, it places the client at risk for injury. Although self-care deficit and dysfunctional grieving can be associated with AIDS, they don't take precedence for a client with AIDS-related dementia. Because CNS deterioration results from infection--not altered tissue perfusion--Ineffective cerebral tissue perfusion isn't an appropriate diagnosis.
