title: What nurses don't know about AIDS.
abstract: As nurses care for ever increasing numbers of AIDS patients, they will face increased challenges that will tax knowledge and skill levels. To make the appropriate assessments and decisions about care and educational needs of the patient, the nurse needs a complete knowledge base that includes information about the pathophysiology, physiologic needs of the patient, and the diagnostic tools related to the disease process.
