Why is drug resistance hiv topic important for patients or nurses to understand? |
who will nurses apply drug resistance hiv knowledge to his or her clinical practice (pretendnures are caring for some one with this disease/ disorder) HIV will often respond when a drug is first initiated. However, as the virus mutates...these strands may not respond to a drug that worked well at first. Patients and caregivers need to understand this so they will be alert to possible new symptoms, and so they will continue with regular follow-up appointments to check their t-cell levels. A drop in t-cells could indicate the virus has become drug resistant and a new drug must be initiated. This is why most HIV patients are on a drug "cocktail"...a combination of several drugs that all work on different strains of the virus. |
