This can be attributed to improved prevention such as proper hygiene, as well as vaccinations and other drug therapies. However, as the H1N1 pandemic illustrates, infections are sometimes unavoidable even when appropriate prevention methods are implemented. In clinical settings, patients present with various infections including common disorders such as flus and colds, as well as disorders that require more extensive treatment and care such as the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or tuberculosis (TB). As an advanced practice nurse, you must evaluate patients presenting with symptoms of infections and recommend appropriate drug treatments.<br \/>\nThis week you begin to explore infections by considering issues surrounding the prevalence, management, and education about HIV\/AIDS. You also examine viral and bacterial infections, as well as the appropriate use of antimicrobial agents.<br \/>\nLearning Objectives<br \/>\nBy the end of this week, students will:<br \/>\nAnalyze reasons for the prevalence of HIV\/AIDS<br \/>\nAnalyze ways health care professionals can change society\u2019s perceptions of HIV\/AIDS<br \/>\nAnalyze strategies to educate HIV positive patients on treatment and management<br \/>\nAnalyze categories of antimicrobial agents<br \/>\nDifferentiate between viral and bacterial infections<br \/>\nAnalyze the relationship between infections and antimicrobial agents<br \/>\nUnderstand and apply key terms, concepts, and principles related to prescribing drugs to treat infections and infestations<br \/>\nPhoto Credit: E.M.
