Question 1 of 5

The LPN is caring for a client newly diagnosed with HIV. Which statement made by the client regarding antiretroviral therapy (ART) would require correction from the nurse?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is the statement, "I know I will need to come back for blood draws so that I can begin ART when my CD4 count is over 1,000 cells/mm3."? This statement would require correction from the nurse because initiating ART when the CD4 count is over 1,000 cells/mm3 is not supported by guidelines. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends making treatment a priority for those with a CD4 count of ≤350 cells/mm3, as early intervention can help delay disease progression.
Therefore, waiting for a CD4 count of over 1,000 cells/mm3 is not in line with current recommendations.


Choice A is correct, as studies have shown that using condoms along with ART can significantly reduce the risk of HIV transmission to sexual partners.
Choice B is also correct because being Hepatitis C positive does not contraindicate the use of ART.
Choice C is correct as well, as ART is typically needed indefinitely to maintain viral suppression and manage HIV.
Therefore, the only statement that would require correction is
Choice D.
