Which of the following statements accurately describes immunodeficiency disorders?

Explanation: The correct answer is d. Ensuring the client receives prophylactic antibiotics as prescribed. Prophylactic antibiotics are commonly prescribed for clients with immunodeficiency disorders to prevent bacterial infections. It is essential to adhere to the prescribed antibiotic regimen to minimize the risk of infections in these clients.

Incorrect choices:

a. Administering live vaccines is contraindicated in clients with immunodeficiency disorders, as live vaccines can cause severe infections in this population. Only inactivated vaccines are recommended for these clients.

b. Regular physical exercise is beneficial for overall health, but it is not a specific intervention for managing immunodeficiency disorders.

c. Strict isolation precautions may be necessary for clients with severe immunodeficiency or during periods of increased infection risk, but it is not the priority intervention for all clients with immunodeficiency disorders.

Explanation: The correct answer is c. Serum immunoglobulin levels. A primary immunodeficiency disorder often results in abnormal levels of immunoglobulins (antibodies) in the blood. Measuring serum immunoglobulin levels can help identify potential deficiencies and guide the diagnosis of primary immunodeficiency disorders.

Incorrect choices:

a. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is a test used to detect specific antibodies or antigens in the blood, but it is not specific to diagnosing primary immunodeficiency disorders.

b. A chest X-ray is not a specific test for diagnosing primary immunodeficiency disorders. It is typically used to assess the condition of the lungs and chest organs.

d. A complete blood count (CBC) is a general blood test that may reveal abnormalities in white blood cell count but does not specifically assess immunoglobulin levels.
