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).
