,Positive patient outcomes are the ultimate goal of nursepatient interactions, regardless
of the particular setting. Which of the following factors has the most direct influence on
positive patient-care outcomes?
A) Patients age
B) Patients ethnic heritage
C) Health education
D) Outcome evaluation - Correct Answer - C) Health education
Health education is an influential factor directly related to positive patient-care
outcomes.
A school nurse is facilitating a health screening program among junior high school
students. What purpose of health screening should the nurse prioritize when planning
this program?
A) To teach students about health risks that they can expect as they grow and develop
B) To evaluate the treatment of students current health problems
C) To identify the presence of infectious diseases
D) To detect health problems at an early age so they can be treated promptly - Correct
Answer - D) To detect health problems at an early age so they can be treated promptly
The goal of health screening in the adolescent population has been to detect health
problems at an early age so that they can be treated at this time.
A nurse recognizes that individuals of different ages have specific health promotion
needs. When planning to promote health among young adults, what subject is most
likely to meet this demographic groups learning needs?
A) Family planning
B) Management of risky behaviors
C) Physical fitness
D) Relationship skills training - Correct Answer - A) Family planning
pg. 2
,Because of the nationwide emphasis on health during the reproductive years, young
adults actively seek programs that address prenatal health, parenting, family planning,
and womens health issues.
A patient is beginning an antiretroviral drug regimen shortly after being diagnosed with
HIV. What nursing action is most likely to increase the likelihood of successful therapy?
A) Promoting appropriate use of complementary therapies
B) Addressing possible barriers to adherence
C) Educating the patient about the pathophysiology of HIV
D) Teaching the patient about the need for follow-up blood work - Correct Answer - B)
Addressing possible barriers to adherence
ART is highly dependent on adherence to treatment, and the nurse should proactively
address this.
The nurse is caring for a patient who has been admitted for the treatment of AIDS. In
the morning, the patient tells the nurse that he experienced night sweats and recently
coughed up some blood. What is the nurses most appropriate action?
A) Assess the patient for additional signs and symptoms of Kaposis sarcoma.
B) Review the patients most recent viral load and CD4+ count.
C) Place the patient on respiratory isolation and inform the physician.
D)Perform oral suctioning to reduce the patients risk for aspiration. - Correct Answer -
C) Place the patient on respiratory isolation and inform the physician.
These signs and symptoms are suggestive of tuberculosis, not Kaposis sarcoma;
prompt assessment and treatment is necessary.
A patient with AIDS is admitted to the hospital with AIDS-related wasting syndrome and
AIDS-related anorexia. What drug has been found to promote significant weight gain in

pg. 3

A) Integration
B) Attachment
C) Cleavage
D) Budding - Correct Answer - B) Attachment
During the process of attachment, glycoproteins of HIV bind with the hosts uninfected
CD4+ receptor and chemokine coreceptors, which results in fusion of HIV with the
