Peter was born after an uneventful pregnancy and weighed 3.1kg. At 3 months, he developed otitis media and an upper respiratory tract infection. At the ages of 5 months and 11 months, he was admitted to hospital with Haemophilus influenzae pneumonia. The infections responded promptly to the appropriate antibiotics on each occasion. When 16 months old, he developed balanitis. He is the fourth child of unrelated parents: his three sisters show no predisposition to infection.

Examination at the age of 18 months showed a pale, thin child whose height and weight were below the third centile. There were no other abnormal features. He had been fully immunized as an infant (at 2, 3 and 4 months) with tetanus and diphtheria toxoids, whole-cell pertussis, Haemophilus conjugate vaccine and oral polio. In addition he had received measles, mumps and rubella vaccine at 12 months. All immunizations were uneventful.

Immunological investigations (Table C3.1) into the cause of his recurrent infections showed severe panhypogammaglobulinemia with absent antibody production. Although there was no family history of hypogammaglobulinemia, the absence of mature B lymphocytes in his peripheral blood strongly supported a diagnosis of ________________________________?????. His antibody deficiency was treated by 2-weekly intravenous infusions of human normal IgG in a dose of 400mg/kg body weight/month. Over the following 2 years, his health steadily improved: his weight and height are now on the 10th centile, and he has had only one episode of otitis media in the last 18 months.

Case Study: You are a nurse caring for a 26 year-old mother of three children who presents to the physician's office with tachypnea, productive cough of yellow sputum, hyperthermia, malaise, fatigue and insufficient fluid intake. You obtain the following information during your objective assessment: Vital signs are BP- 120/78, HR- 110, respirations 24/minute, temperature 100.4 orally and pulse oximeter of 90% on room air (RA). Upon auscultation, you note coarse rhonchi in bilateral posterior lobes. She complaints of pain of 8/10 in her anterior right side of her chest after coughing. 1) Describe the rationale for performing a comprehensive physical assessment on this patient. 2) Prioritize the symptoms to be assessed on this patient and explain which system would have the highest priority for this assessment and why? 3) List the appropriate subjective health history questions that could identify this patient's risk factors for her altered respiratory condition. 4) Describe the etiology of this patient's overall assessment. What do you think is the condition this patient is experiencing? 5) List 3 priority nursing diagnoses for this patient. Remember the need to prioritize diagnoses based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs, including ABC's, pain and VS. For each of these 3 nursing diagnoses, include one short-term and one long-term SMART goal and include 3 interventions with rationales to support these interventions.
