Question

A nurse is planning to provide discharge teaching to the family of a client with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Which statement should the nurse include in the teaching plan?1 "Wash used dishes in hot, soapy water."2 "Let dishes soak in hot water for 24 hours before washing."3 "You should boil the client's dishes for 30 minutes after use."4 "Have the client eat from paper plates so they can be discarded."

Answer 1

Wash used dishes in hot soapy water

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because hot water has a higher sanitizing power than normal temperature water, it helps to melt oil away from plate. It kills germs and bacteria because of temperature.

Answer 2

The answer is routine care is adequate.

Step-by-step explanation:

None of those statements should be taught by the nurse, because the family will not get HIV from sharing the same dishes as the client with AIDS.

AIDS can only be transmitted by sexual intercourse, needle sharing drugs, blood transfusion.
