Which of the following is a potential complication of primary 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.

Explanation: The correct answer is b. X-linked agammaglobulinemia. X-linked agammaglobulinemia is a primary immunodeficiency disorder caused by a genetic mutation that leads to the absence of mature B cells, resulting in an inability to produce antibodies (immunoglobulins). As a result, individuals with this disorder are highly susceptible to infections, especially bacterial infections.

Incorrect choices:

a. DiGeorge syndrome is a primary immunodeficiency disorder characterized by abnormalities in the development of certain organs, including the thymus, leading to impaired T cell function.

c. Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is a group of rare genetic disorders that affect both T cells and B cells, resulting in a severe impairment of the immune system.

d. Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a secondary immunodeficiency disorder caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, which specifically targets and destroys CD4+ T cells, weakening the immune system's ability to fight infections.
