Which of the following is not a common symptom of immunodeficiency disorders?

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.

Explanation: The correct answer is c. Limit visitors to family members only. Clients with immunodeficiency disorders are at increased risk of infections, and limiting visitors to family members only can help reduce the risk of exposure to infectious agents. It is essential to create a controlled and safe environment for these clients.

Incorrect choices:

a. Encouraging the client to interact with other clients in the unit can increase the risk of exposure to infections and is not appropriate for someone with immunodeficiency.

b. Live vaccines contain weakened pathogens and are contraindicated for clients with immunodeficiency disorders, as they can cause serious infections in this population.

d. Providing the client with a private room with negative pressure is not necessary for every client with immunodeficiency disorder. Negative pressure rooms are used for clients with specific airborne infectious diseases, and the decision to use such rooms is based on the specific circumstances of each client.
