Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has HIV. Which of the following laboratory values is the nurse’s priority?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: CD4-T-cell count 180 cells/mm³. This is the priority because it indicates the client's immune status and progression of HIV. A low CD4 count indicates immunosuppression, increasing the risk of opportunistic infections. Monitoring CD4 levels guides treatment decisions. The other options are not as critical. B: Positive Western blot confirms HIV diagnosis but doesn't indicate disease progression. C: Platelets and D: WBC are important but not as immediate as monitoring immune function in HIV.
