A. "If I don't take my medication as scheduled, the virus may become resistant to treatment." B. "If I don't take my medication as scheduled, it may cause my RNA to convert to DNA." C. "If I don't take my medication as scheduled, it may prevent the HIV from being assembled." D. "If I don't take my medication as scheduled, my CD4 lymphocyte count may increase."

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. This statement accurately reflects the importance of adherence to ART; if medication is missed, the virus may replicate unchecked, leading to drug resistance, which is a significant concern in HIV treatment.

B. This statement is incorrect because the conversion of RNA to DNA is a normal part of the HIV life cycle and is not directly prevented by taking medication on time.

C. While protease inhibitors do help prevent the assembly of new virions, the primary concern when missing doses is the risk of resistance rather than assembly prevention.

D. This statement is misleading; while effective ART can lead to an increase in CD4 counts over time, missing doses would not directly cause an increase in CD4 lymphocyte counts.

A. Positive Western blot test B. CD4-T-cell count 180 cells/mm³ (Range: 500 to 1500 cells/mm³) C. Platelets 150,000/mm³ (Range: 150,000-400,000 cells/mm³) D. WBC 5,000/mm³ (Range: 5,000-10,000 cells/mm³)

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. A positive Western blot test indicates an HIV diagnosis, which is expected in a client with HIV and does not require urgent intervention.

B. A CD4-T-cell count of 180 cells/mm³ is significantly low (normal range: 500 to 1500 cells/mm³) and indicates severe immunosuppression, putting the client at increased risk for opportunistic infections, warranting immediate attention from the provider.

C. A platelet count of 150,000/mm³ is at the lower end of the normal range and does not typically require immediate intervention unless there are clinical symptoms associated.

D. A WBC count of 5,000/mm³ is within the normal range and does not indicate a need for urgent intervention.
