A nurse is caring for a group of clients diagnosed with AIDS. When planning health teaching for group discussion, which of the following is an important topic that the nurse should take account of?
  1. Force expression of views and emotions about the disease
  2. Safe-sex practices
  3. Keeping the client’s diagnosis private
  4. Informing partners and other friends about the diagnosis for their protection
Explanation
Answer: B - An important topic that the nurse should take account of is establishing safe-sex practices to prevent transmission of the virus. Expression of view and emotions is important as well, but the nurse should not force expression of views and emotions about the disease; each person should be given the time to deal with their diagnosis. The sole responsibility for and decision to reveal their diagnosis rests with the client.
