Question 2 of 5
A client with a diagnosis of Human Immunodeficiency Virus develops pneumonia. What type of infection is this?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: An opportunistic infection. In patients with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), infections like pneumonia are considered opportunistic because they take advantage of a weakened immune system. Option B, root cause infection, is incorrect as it does not describe the nature of the infection in relation to the patient's condition. Option C, pathogenic infection, is incorrect because while pneumonia is caused by pathogens, in the context of HIV, it is specifically termed as an opportunistic infection. Option D, nosocomial infection, is also incorrect as it refers to infections acquired in a healthcare setting, not related to the patient's HIV status.

Question 5 of 5
A client does not understand why vision loss due to glaucoma is irreversible. What is the nurse's best explanation?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct explanation for irreversible vision loss in glaucoma is that once the tissue has necrosed from high pressure, it does not regenerate. This necrosis occurs due to the damage caused by increased intraocular pressure, which leads to irreversible damage to the optic nerve and retinal tissue. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not directly address the specific mechanism of irreversible vision loss in glaucoma, which is necrosis due to high pressure.
