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?

"I will ensure that my child is tested for tuberculosis every year."

"My child will need to double his medications for the next 6 months."

"The risk of transmission decreases once my child is on zidovudine for 2 weeks."

"My child will need to repeat his childhood immunizations once he is in remission."

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A

A. This is the correct statement. Children with HIV are at increased risk for tuberculosis (TB) infection. Therefore, regular testing for TB is an important part of their healthcare.

B. Doubling medications without specific guidance from the healthcare provider can be dangerous and is not recommended. It's important for the parent to follow the prescribed medication regimen as directed.

C. While zidovudine (AZT) is an important medication for HIV treatment, the statement is not accurate. The risk of transmission does not decrease after only 2 weeks of
treatment. It takes longer for the viral load to decrease significantly.

D. Children with HIV do not necessarily need to repeat their childhood immunizations once they are in remission. However, the timing and need for vaccinations may be
individualized based on the child's specific circumstances and immune status. This statement does not demonstrate a clear understanding of the teaching.
