Question 31:<br />The correct answer is A. A young woman who has suffered a rape ordeal.<br /><br />Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is a medical treatment that is started immediately after exposure to a pathogen, such as HIV, to prevent infection. In the case of a young woman who has suffered a rape ordeal, PEP is appropriate because she may have been exposed to HIV through sexual assault. PEP can help reduce the risk of HIV transmission if taken as soon as possible after the exposure.<br /><br />Question 32:<br />The correct answer is B. Viral antibodies.<br /><br />The Western blot assay is a laboratory test that specifically detects the presence of viral antibodies in a person's blood. Antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system in response to the presence of a virus. The Western blot assay is commonly used to confirm the presence of HIV antibodies in individuals who have been exposed to the virus.<br /><br />Question 33:<br />The correct answer is A. To help identify risk factors that may indicate that the client is HIV-infected.<br /><br />Pretest counseling aims to provide individuals with information about the risks and benefits of undergoing a specific medical test, in this case, an HIV test. The goals of pretest counseling include informing the client about the purpose of the test, the testing process, potential results, and the implications of a positive or negative result. Pretest counseling also helps to identify any risk factors that may indicate that the client is HIV-infected, which can then be addressed during the counseling session.
