A nurse in a clinic is assessing a client who has AIDS and a significantly decreased CD4-T-cell count. The nurse should recognize that the client is at risk for developing which of the following infectious oral conditions?

The correct answer is Choice C: "I will make a list of my favorite beverages."

Choice A rationale: Stating that they will put beverages in large containers to give the appearance of drinking a lot demonstrates a lack of understanding of fluid restriction guidelines. It focuses on the appearance rather than the actual fluid intake limitation. This statement does not reflect an understanding of the need to limit fluids in acute kidney disease.

Choice B rationale: Consuming most fluids during the evening is not recommended for clients with acute kidney disease as it may lead to discomfort, nighttime urination, and fluid overload. This statement does not demonstrate an understanding of the importance of spreading fluid intake throughout the day.

Choice C rationale: Making a list of favorite beverages indicates the client's understanding of fluid restrictions. This approach can help the client prioritize their preferred beverages while staying within their prescribed fluid allowance. It shows that the client is aware of the need to be selective in their fluid intake.

Choice D rationale: Although avoiding ice cream is an appropriate action due to its contribution to fluid intake, this statement alone does not necessarily indicate a comprehensive understanding of fluid restrictions. The client must also be aware of the importance of monitoring all sources of fluid intake, including other foods and beverages.

The correct answer is choice B: Shivering.

Choice A rationale: Dehydration is a risk associated with high fever and infections like meningitis, but it is not a direct complication of using a hypothermia blanket.

Choice B rationale: Shivering is a complication of using a hypothermia blanket, as the body may react to the induced cooling by shivering, which can raise body temperature and counteract the blanket's cooling effect.

Choice C rationale: Seizures can occur in meningitis cases, but they are not specifically a complication of using a hypothermia blanket.

Choice D rationale: Burns are not a typical complication of using a hypothermia blanket when it is used as directed and monitored appropriately. However, skin irritation may occur in some cases.
