Question Answered step-by-step The nurse is caring for a newborn who was born to a mother infected… The nurse is caring for a newborn who was born to a mother infected with HIV. The nurse knows what manifestations of treatment are included in the care of this neonate? Select all that apply. The newborn must be isolated from the mother. All neonates born to HIV-positive clients will acquire infection. Administer zidovudine to the newborn as prescribed for the first 6 weeks. For all neonates born to HIV-positive clients, an HIV culture is recommended at 1 and 4 months after birth. All HIV-exposed newborns should be treated with medication to prevent infection by Pneumocystis jiroveci. Neonates born to HIV-positive clients never test positive at birth because antibodies received from the mother may persist for 18 months after birth.
