Answer:

c) The occupational health nurse should discuss HIV status with the client.

Explanation:

If you are a nurse you should be very careful when administering vaccines to a patient. Besides taking proper care in the administration of the vaccine, the nurse must be careful not to receive a needle injury to the patient, because some diseases are caused by contact with fluids of the infected human body, one of these diseases is AIDS, caused by HIV virus.

In the case exposed in the question, the professional should act calmly and contact the occupational health nurse so that this nurse contacts the patient to discuss the HIV status with the patient. The educational health professional is responsible for this. The attending nurse should not perform an HIV test without the patient's authorization, should not personally ask the patient to take an HIV test, nor can they inform the patient about the need for this test because these practices are considered unethical within of the profession.

Illusion [34]

Answer:

The male reproductive system consists of external organs. The testes in the scrotum produce the male gamete, sperm, which is ejaculated in seminal fluid by the penis.

The female reproductive system primarily consists of internal organs. The female gamete, ovum, is produced in the ovaries and is released monthly to travel to the uterus via the Fallopian tubes.
