The nurse is working with a mentally ill client who has just recently been diagnosed with HIV. The client lost her job and has been living in different shelters each night
Which of the following is a priority goal for this client? Standard Text: Select all that apply. 1. Refer to the client to another physician for medication management
2. Maintain access to support services as needed
3. Avoid exposure to infectious diseases
4. Get adequate amounts of rest
5. Maintain nutritional requirements
2,3,4,5
Rationale: An increasingly critical problem is the lack of decent, appropriate housing for the growing number of people with HIV disease. HIV disease is disproportionately prevalent among individuals already at the economic edge and those who are targets of discrimination in housing and medical care: people of color, homosexuals, injection drug users, and homeless and runaway youth. Although most people with an impaired immune system can live independently, they require a safe environment that helps them avoid exposure to infectious diseases, get adequate rest, meet their special nutritional needs, and have access to support services and home help when necessary. There is no evidence that the client would need a referral to another physician for medication management.
