Question 1 of 5

The nurse is providing counseling to a woman who is HIV positive and has just discovered that she is pregnant. Which anti-HIV drug is given to HIV-infected pregnant women to prevent transmission of the virus to the infant?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: zidovudine. Zidovudine is recommended for HIV-infected pregnant women to prevent transmission of the virus to the infant due to its ability to reduce the risk of mother-to-child transmission of HIV during pregnancy, labor, and delivery. Zidovudine works by inhibiting HIV replication and reducing viral load in the mother, thus decreasing the chances of the virus passing to the baby. Ribavirin (
