A nurse in a clinic is talking with a client who has a new diagnosis of osteoarthritis. The nurse should anticipate that the client will require teaching about which of the following medications?

Choice A reason:
Activities that could result in bleeding should be minimized for a client with neutropenia due to the increased risk of infection from open wounds. However, this is not the primary restriction related to neutropenia itself but rather a general precaution for patients with low platelet counts or other clotting issues.

Choice B reason:
Restricting all visitors from entering the client's room is not necessary unless the visitors are sick or have been exposed to infectious diseases. Neutropenic patients are at increased risk for infection, so visitors should be screened for illness, but complete isolation is not required.

Choice C reason:
Modifying oral fluid intake to between meals only is not a standard restriction for neutropenic patients. Adequate hydration is essential, and there are no specific neutropenia-related reasons to restrict fluids to between meals.

Choice D reason:
Fresh flowers and potted plants should be avoided in the room of a neutropenic patient. They can harbor fungi and other microorganisms that could cause infection in an immunocompromised individual. Neutropenic precautions typically include avoiding standing water and plants that may contain harmful bacteria or fungi.

Choice A reason:
A personal trainer working with a client who has HIV is at low risk for contracting the virus. HIV is not transmitted through casual contact, sweat, or saliva. The risk would increase only if there were exposure to blood or other body fluids through an open wound or mucous membrane.

Choice B reason:
An occupational therapist working with a client who has HIV also has a low risk of contracting the virus. Similar to a personal trainer, unless there is direct exposure to blood or body fluids, the transmission risk is minimal.

Choice C reason:
A phlebotomist who collects blood from clients who have HIV is at the greatest risk among the listed individuals. Phlebotomists are healthcare professionals who are frequently exposed to blood, which is a bodily fluid that can transmit HIV if proper precautions are not taken.

Choice D reason:
A nurse who collects urine samples is at a lower risk compared to a phlebotomist. HIV is not typically transmitted through urine unless it contains blood. However, the risk is still present if there is exposure to blood-contaminated urine through cuts or mucous membranes.
