The nurse is providing care to a client diagnosed with HIV. Which goal is supported by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) to increase opportunities for healthy living?
1. Using a medical approach to care.
2. Using a holistic approach to care.
3. Decreasing the spread of infection.
4. Increasing education on prevention.
Correct Answer: 2
The CDC goal for client's living with HIV is to provide a holistic approach for public health programs to advance the health of communities and increase opportunities for healthy living. While decreasing the spread of infection and educating on prevention are appropriate, these are not the specific goals of the CDC. While a medical approach to care is appropriate, this does not address the client's psychosocial needs.
