Immunodefeciency disorders ( 50 Questions)

The nurse is caring for a child with an immunodeficiency disorder. Which clinical manifestation should the nurse expect to assess in the child?

b. Rapid weight loss may be seen in conditions like malnutrition or metabolic disorders but is not a typical clinical manifestation of immunodeficiency disorders.
