Which of the following is a potential complication of primary immunodeficiency disorders?

Explanation: The correct answer is b. Recurrent skin infections. Recurrent skin infections are common clinical manifestations of immunodeficiency disorders in the elderly. The weakened immune system makes the skin more susceptible to infections and delays wound healing.

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.

Explanation: The correct answer is c. Ensuring the client receives antiretroviral therapy (ART) as prescribed. ART is the mainstay of treatment for HIV infection and is essential for suppressing viral replication, improving immune function, and preventing disease progression.

Incorrect choices:

a. Encouraging strenuous physical activities is not recommended for clients with HIV infection, as it may place additional stress on the immune system and exacerbate symptoms.

b. While a balanced diet is essential for overall health, there is no specific evidence that a diet high in raw fruits and vegetables alone can boost the immune system sufficiently to manage HIV infection.

d. Clients with HIV infection should follow infection control precautions to prevent the transmission of the virus to others. Interacting freely with other clients may put them and others at risk of infection transmission.
