The nurse is caring for a client suspected of having an immunodeficiency disorder. Which diagnostic test should the nurse anticipate being ordered to confirm the diagnosis?

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.

Explanation: The correct answer is d. Abdominal pain and diarrhea. Abdominal pain and diarrhea are common clinical manifestations of immunodeficiency disorders. The weakened immune system makes the child more susceptible to gastrointestinal infections, leading to these symptoms.

Incorrect choices:

a. Rash and hives are more common clinical manifestations of allergic reactions or immune hypersensitivity disorders, not immunodeficiency disorders.

b. Rapid weight loss may be seen in conditions like malnutrition or metabolic disorders but is not a typical clinical manifestation of immunodeficiency disorders.

c. Excessive thirst and frequent urination are clinical manifestations of diabetes or other endocrine disorders, not immunodeficiency disorders.
