Choice A rationaleStandard precautions should always be used to prevent the transmission of infections. This includes wearing gloves, gowns, and masks when necessary to protect both the healthcare provider and the patient.Choice B rationaleAntiviral medication is critical for an HIV-positive mother in labor to reduce the risk of vertical transmission of the virus to the newborn.

It is primarily transmitted through blood, sexual contact, and from mother to child during childbirth or breastfeeding.Choice D rationaleBottle-feeding is encouraged for HIV-positive mothers to prevent postnatal transmission of the virus through breast milk. Breastfeeding can increase the risk of the infant contracting HIV.Choice E rationaleNegative pressure rooms are used for airborne diseases like tuberculosis, not for HIV.
