Secondary immunodeficiencies, also known as acquired immunodeficiencies, can result from various immunosuppressive agents, for example, malnutrition, aging and particular medications (e.g., chemotherapy, disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs, immunosuppressive drugs after organ transplants, glucocorticoids). For medications, the term immunosuppression generally refers to both beneficial and potential adverse effects of decreasing the function of the immune system, while the term immunodeficiency generally refers solely to the adverse effect of increased risk for infection. Many specific diseases directly or indirectly cause immunosuppression. This includes many types of cancer, particularly those of the bone marrow and blood cells (leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma), and certain chronic infections. Immunodeficiency is also the hallmark of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) , caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HIV directly infects a small number of T helper cells and also impairs other immune system responses indirectly.

dem82 [27]

Answer: 1-  The client's apical pulse is 68 beats/min and irregularly irregular

Explanation:

Option one is the most important finding because, although it  showed apical pulse rate of 68, which is still within the normal range of 60-100, It pointed out that the pulse rate  is irregularly irregular.which may be  an indication of possible heart failure.

Besides, atrial fibrillation  was  explained with  this  option with the use of the words (irregularly irregular) ,and the use  of digoxin to speed heart rate.Therefore ,  indication of heart failure should be the main sign by the healthcare provider.
