Question 1 of 5

A client has an initial positive result of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The client begins to cry and asks the nurse what this means. Which knowledge should the nurse use to provide support to the client?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: If the client tests positive for HIV with the ELISA test, the test is repeated because of the potential for a false-positive result (e.g., from a recent influenza or hepatitis B vaccine) or a false-negative result if drawn too early after infection. If the test is positive a second time, the Western blot (a more specific test) is done to confirm the finding. The client is not diagnosed as HIV positive unless the Western blot is positive. Some laboratories also run the Western blot a second time with a new specimen before making a final determination.
