Which of the following is a potential treatment option for patients with primary immunodeficiency disorders?

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 c. Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). 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. Individuals with SCID are highly susceptible to infections and may need to live in a protected environment to avoid exposure to pathogens, hence the term "bubble boy disease."

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, but it does not affect B cell function.

b. X-linked agammaglobulinemia is a primary immunodeficiency disorder characterized by a lack of mature B cells and an inability to produce antibodies, but it does not affect T cell function.

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, but it does not affect B cell function.
