A patient with type 2 diabetes and a patient who is 86 years old

are the patients that a nurse should identify as having a risk for impaired immunity.

<h3></h3><h3>What is impaired immunity?</h3>

The immune system is the body's built-in defense mechanism that aids in the battle against illnesses. An individual cannot be adequately protected against infection by an impaired immune system that is not functioning properly.

The immune system is weakened or compromised by some diseases and medications. These may consist of:

  • disorders resulting from substance usage or issues brought on by stopping use (withdrawal).
  • specific ailments or illnesses. Examples include diseases like diabetes, cancer, HIV/AIDS, or autoimmune illnesses, in which the body incorrectly views its own tissues as toxic.
  • either radiation treatment or chemotherapy.
  • medications used to suppress the immune system after organ transplants, such as corticosteroids
  • operation to remove spleen (splenectomy).

Write a letter to your friend about social problems​

Dear Ravi,

I haven’t been able to write to you for a long time. There have been so many social problems that I could barely find any time. I hope you are fine.

To begin with, my elder sister was going to get married next month. Negotiations were going on with the  groom’s family. It was almost finalised when the groom demanded a new car and a huge dowry.

My father was furious and wanted to lodge a complaint against the groom. The wedding was cancelled off. Dowry has become a fatal problem.

The next social problem came from our neighbour. He ruthlessly turned his old ailing parents out of the house. The poor old couple had no place to go. We gave them shelter and approached the police. This has become a recurrent social problem.

Another acute social problem is the extortion of money in the name of festivals. There was a huge fight in our colony when some young boys forcibly demanded money for the celebration of Diwali.

All these social problems have become universal menaces. If not curtailed they will turn into Frankenstein. We have to fight them together. I will write to you again. Take care.

Your friend

Nikhil
