A group of nurses are discussing risk factors for transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) from clients: Which of the following individuals should the nurse identify as being at the greatest risk for contracting HIV?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: A phlebotomist who collects blood from clients who have HIV. This individual is at the greatest risk for contracting HIV due to direct exposure to infected blood, which is a high-risk body fluid for transmission. Phlebotomists are at increased risk compared to other healthcare workers because of the direct contact with blood during blood collection procedures. The other choices are incorrect because they involve indirect or lower-risk exposures to HIV. A nurse collecting urine samples (choice
A) is not at high risk because urine is not a known transmission route for HIV. A personal trainer (choice
B) and an occupational therapist (choice
D) working with clients who have HIV are at lower risk compared to phlebotomists as they are not in direct contact with blood.
