The nurse is describing to a client diagnosed with AIDS the use of "the cocktail" to attack development cycles of the virus
Which of the following class of drugs that may be found in this cocktail disables a protein that the HIV needs for replication? A) Entry inhibitors
B) Nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs)
C) Nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs)
D) Protease inhibitors (PIs)
D
Feedback:
PIs disable a protein (protease) that the HIV needs for replication. Entry inhibitors work by preventing HIV from entering healthy CD4 cells by blocking specific proteins on CDC4 cells. NNRTIs attach themselves to reverse transcriptase and prevent the enzyme from converting RNA to DNA and NRTIs replace part of HIV's genetic material with alternate enzymes, which means that the virus does not have access to normal developmental life cycle growth.
