Which of the following is not a cause of respiratory acidosis?

Choice A rationale:
Contact inhibition is a normal mechanism that regulates cell growth. When normal cells come into contact with each other, they stop growing. This prevents uncontrolled growth and the formation of tumors.
Benign tumor cells do not typically lose contact inhibition. They still respond to contact signals from neighboring cells and stop growing when they come into contact with each other.
However, they may grow in an uncontrolled manner due to other factors, such as mutations in genes that regulate cell growth.
Choice C rationale:
Invasion is a characteristic of malignant (cancerous) tumors, not benign tumors. Malignant tumors have the ability to invade surrounding tissues and spread to other parts of the body.
Benign tumors, on the other hand, are localized and do not invade surrounding tissues. They may grow and compress nearby tissues, but they do not spread.
Choice D rationale:
Anaplasia is a term used to describe the loss of differentiation of cells in a tumor. This means that the cells no longer resemble the normal cells from which they originated.
Anaplasia is a characteristic of malignant tumors, not benign tumors. Benign tumor cells typically retain some of the characteristics of the parent cells.

Choice A rationale:
Explaining legal requirements to inform sex partners at this initial stage is not the most appropriate or supportive intervention.
The client is in a state of emotional distress and may not be receptive to information about legal obligations. It's crucial to first address the client's emotional needs and provide support before discussing legal matters.
Prematurely focusing on legalities could further overwhelm the client and potentially hinder the development of a trusting relationship with the nurse.
Choice C rationale:
Offering to inform the family for the client, while well-intentioned, may not respect the client's autonomy and right to privacy. The decision to disclose HIV status to family members is a personal one that should be made by the client, not the nurse.
It's important to empower the client to make their own choices about disclosure and provide support throughout the process.
Choice D rationale:
Determining if a clergy member would help could be a valuable resource for some clients, but it should not be the first or only intervention.
It's essential to first assess the client's individual needs and preferences regarding spiritual support.
Not all clients may find comfort in religious or spiritual guidance, and some may prefer to seek support from other sources.
Choice B rationale:
Assessing the client for support systems is the most appropriate initial intervention because it focuses on the client's immediate needs for emotional support and connection.
By identifying existing support systems (such as family, friends, or community organizations), the nurse can help the client access resources that can provide comfort, understanding, and assistance in coping with the diagnosis.
This approach recognizes the client's emotional state and prioritizes their psychosocial well-being, which is essential in the initial stages of coping with an HIV diagnosis.
