Rationale: Traditional HIV antibody measurement by ELISA or
Western-blot assay is not accurate in infants younger than 18 months because of the persistence of maternal antibodies.Because of the potential for maternal contamination during delivery, umbilical cord blood should not be used for testing. HIV- exposed infants should undergo virologic testing within 48 hours of birth and follow-up testing, depending on the initial results.
Test-Taking Strategy: Focus on the subject, a newborn infant
exposed to HIV. Recalling that the ELISA and Western blot assay are not accurate in an infant younger than 18 months will assist you in eliminating these options. Next eliminate the option involving cord blood, knowing that such blood could be contaminated. Review the tests to detect HIV in a newborn infant.

th th 1/ 1 pts Question 2 A nurse providing home care instructions to a mother of a HIV-positive child discusses measures to prevent transmission of the virus. Which statement by the mother indicates a need for further instruction? “I’ll wash my hands with soap and water if I touch any blood from my child.” 2 / 4

“I’ll rinse bloodstained clothing with hydrogen peroxide and then wash it as usual.” “I won’t let my children share toothbrushes.” “I’ll wash up blood spills with soap and hot water and allow them to air dry.” Correct!Correct!
Rationale: The correct method of cleaning up blood spills is to
wash the area with soap and water, rinse with bleach, and let the area air dry. The remaining statements by the mother reflect correct measures to prevent transmission of the virus.
Test-Taking Strategy: Note the strategic words “need for further
instruction,” which indicate a negative event query and the need to select the incorrect statement. Recalling that blood spills must be
cleaned with a 1:10 bleach/water solution will direct you to the
correct option. Review these home care measures for HIV.

best indication that the child’s condition is improving? Temperature Changed from 100.2° F to 99.2° F (37.3°C) Capillary refill slowing from 2 seconds to 3 seconds No lesions in the mouth and throat Weight increase of 1 lb (0.45 kg) over 3 days Correct!Correct!
Rationale: Vomiting results in fluid volume deficit. The most
accurate method of evaluating fluid volume increase (the desired outcome) is weight. A temperature decrease is not reflective of fluid volume increase. Increasing capillary refill time is indicative of a fluid volume decrease, not an increase. The absence of mouth ulcers would allow the child to drink without pain but does not reflect a fluid volume increase.
Test-Taking Strategy: Note the data in the question and the
strategic word, best, and remember that the child is experiencing severe vomiting. Use the process of elimination and focus on the subject, an assessment finding indicating fluid volume increase.The correct option is the only one that related to fluid volume.Review the findings that indicate a positive outcome in a child with HIV with severe vomiting.
