A nurse is reinforcing teaching about home infection prevention with a client who is HIV positive. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?

Choice A Reason: "I will put soiled dressings in a tied plastic bag before placing them in the trash." This statement indicates an understanding of proper infection prevention practices for someone who is HIV positive. Putting soiled dressings in a tied plastic bag before disposing of them in the trash helps contain potentially infectious materials and reduces the risk of accidental exposure to others. Choice B Reason: Using animal-skin condoms is not recommended for individuals with HIV. Latex or polyurethane condoms are recommended because they provide better protection against the transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. Choice C Reason: Placing used sharp items in an empty cereal box for disposal is not a safe method for handling sharps. Sharps should be disposed of in a puncture-resistant container specifically designed for sharps disposal. Choice D Reason: Using a mixture of one part peroxide to ten parts water for disinfecting hard surfaces may not be effective in killing all pathogens. It is better to use a commercially available disinfectant or follow specific guidelines for disinfection recommended by healthcare providers or public health agencies.
