Your patient who had AIDS/HIV has just died. Should you still use standard precautions as you provide post-mortem care?

Choice C is incorrect as the virus can still be transmissible even after the patient's death.
Choice D is incorrect as using standard precautions is a matter of infection control, not a question of respect.
