A nurse is providing teaching to a parent of a child who has HIV.
Which of the following statements by the parent indicates an understanding of the teaching?

The correct answer is Choice C.

Choice A rationale

Repeating childhood immunizations once in remission is not necessary. Children with HIV should follow the standard immunization schedule with some modifications based on their immune status.

Choice B rationale

The risk of transmission does not significantly decrease after just 2 weeks on zidovudine. Continuous adherence to antiretroviral therapy is essential for reducing viral load and transmission risk.

Choice C rationale

Ensuring the child is tested for tuberculosis every year is important. Children with HIV are at higher risk for TB due to their compromised immune systems.

Choice D rationale

Doubling medications for 6 months is not a standard practice and can lead to toxicity and adverse effects. Medication dosages should be carefully managed by healthcare providers.

The correct answer is Choice A.

Choice A rationale

Ensuring that all patients are moved out of harm’s way is the first priority in a nursing home fire situation. This action aligns with the principles of the ABCs of nursing prioritization, where ensuring safety and preventing harm is paramount.

Choice B rationale

Removing all flammable materials from the area and extinguishing the fire is important, but it comes after ensuring the safety of the patients. The primary focus should be on patient safety.

Choice C rationale

Reporting to the area of the fire and taking measures to extinguish and/or contain it, if possible, is a secondary action. The immediate priority is to ensure the safety of the patients.

Choice D rationale

Evacuating all patients from the building immediately is not always feasible or safe. The priority is to move patients out of immediate harm’s way and then proceed with further evacuation if necessary.
