The nurse has four clients that come to the clinic for healthcare. Which one of these clients has the highest risk factor for HIV infection?
A) A 46-year-old female who has been in a monogamous relationship for 9 years
B) A 22-year-old heterosexual male who has had one relationship for 2 years
C) A 34-year-old female who has donated blood on several occasion
D) A 26-year-old inmate who receives tattoos in prison
D
Feedback:
Contact with infected blood on body piercing, tattoo, and dental equipment places the inmate at great risk because there is not an approved method for sterilization of the equipment. The other answers do not eliminate the risk for HIV but are less likely.
