1. A 34-year old patient is diagnosed with AIDS. His
pharmacologic management includes Zidovudine
(AZT). During a home visit, the patient states "I don't
know how this medication works. Will it stop the
infection?" The nurse's best response is:

"The medication helps to slow the disease process,
but it
won't cure or stop it totally."

The medication blocks reverse transcriptase, the
enzyme
required for HIV replication."

"Don't you know? There aren't any medications to
stop or cure HIV."

"No, it won't stop the infection. In fact, sometimes
the HIV
can become worse from the drug itself."
