The clinical nurse leader notices that staff spend minimal time with a client who is terminally ill
  with AIDS.
 
  The client confides in the nurse leader that he is having intense emotional reactions to
  his illness, sometimes feeling angry, sometimes afraid, sometimes feeling abandoned. As the nurse
  leader considers how to approach the problem of client avoidance with staff, he can hypothesize that
  the most likely reason for the staff's avoidance is
  a. the need to use extra infection control precautions.
  b. feelings of inadequacy in dealing with complex emotional needs.
  c. knowledge that the client needs time alone with family and friends.
  d. disapproval of the client's former high-risk lifestyle.

B
Many nurses tend to be more comfortable with meeting physical needs than in focusing on
emotional needs. Option A is not an acceptable answer because universal precautions are necessary
for all clients. Option C assumes friends and family are available to the client, which might not be
true. Option D assumes the client led a high-risk lifestyle, which might not be accurate.
