The family of a patient with AIDS has been instructed on patient manifestations to report to the health care provider (HCP). Which manifestation should be reported indicating that teaching has been effective?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Night sweats. Night sweats are a common symptom of advanced HIV/AIDS, indicating a weakened immune system. Reporting this symptom is crucial for monitoring disease progression and adjusting treatment. Fever (A) is common in many conditions, dry mouth (B) is not specific to AIDS, and constipation (D) is not a typical manifestation of AIDS. Reporting night sweats shows understanding of the disease process and the importance of monitoring symptoms in AIDS patients.
