WGU D441 (OA) EXAM
1. A client is receiving orlistat as part of a weight-management program. Which
ongoing assessment should be included in the plan of care to determine the
effectiveness of the medication?
A. Serum protein levels.
B. Body mass index (BMI).
C. Daily calorie count.
D. Depression screening.
Correct Answer:
B. Body mass index (BMI).
Rationale:
Orlistat blocks fat absorption in the GI tract to promote weight loss, so the trend in BMI
(and weight) is the direct, objective measure of therapeutic effectiveness.

2. The nurse is teaching a client diagnosed with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
about the antiretroviral regimen. Which statement by the client requires additional
instruction?
A. "HIV infection is not cured by the antiretroviral regimen."
B. "The viral load can be decreased to an undetectable level."
C. "The medications can decrease AIDS-related complications."
D. "Antiretroviral medication prevents the transmission of the virus."
Correct Answer:
D. "Antiretroviral medication prevents the transmission of the virus."
Rationale:
This statement shows misunderstanding — antiretroviral therapy suppresses viral load
and reduces complications but does NOT cure HIV and does not eliminate transmission
risk; barrier protection and other precautions remain necessary.
