Immunodefeciency disorders ( 50 Questions)

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


Correct Answer: B

Incorrect choices:

a. Impaired balance and coordination are more commonly associated with neurological disorders or conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system, not immunodeficiency disorders.

c. Vision changes and blindness may be seen in conditions affecting the eyes or the visual system but are not typical clinical manifestations of immunodeficiency disorders.

d. Hearing loss is more commonly associated with conditions affecting the ears or the auditory system and is not a typical clinical manifestation of immunodeficiency disorders.
