A nursing department's response to risks associated with human immunodeficiency virus.
Nurses need to be aware of the risks associated with HIV. In particular, they must know the precautions to take to avoid occupational exposure and their legal and ethical obligations in caring for clients with HIV infection. The Nursing Department of Saint Anselm College has integrated content that deals with these and other issues related to HIV exposure and infection.
