Question 2 of 5
In planning an educational session for a patient with HIV, the nurse would include which of the following as a method of transmission for HIV? i.Saliva iv.Semen ii.Tears v.Blood iii.Breast milk
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: HIV can be transmitted through specific body fluids that contain the virus. Saliva, tears, and semen do not typically contain enough HIV to transmit the virus, so they are not considered significant modes of transmission. However, blood, breast milk, and genital fluids (such as semen) are known to contain higher levels of HIV and can lead to transmission of the virus.
Therefore, the nurse would include blood, breast milk, and semen as methods of transmission for HIV during the educational session.
Question 3 of 5
An adult has been treated for pulmonary tuberculosis and is being discharged home with his wife and two young children. His wife asks how TB is passed from one person to another so she can prevent anyone from catching it. How should the nurse respond?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Tuberculosis is primarily spread through the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, speaks, or sings, releasing bacteria-containing droplets into the air.
Therefore, it is important for the individual with TB to cover their mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing to prevent the spread of the bacteria. By coughing into a disposable tissue or a handkerchief that can be washed in hot water, the risk of spreading the infection to others is significantly reduced. This measure helps minimize the transmission of the disease within the household and community.
