A38-year old female client has begun to suffer from rheumatoid arthritis. she is also being assessed for disorders of the immune system. she works as an aide at a facility which cares for children infected with aids. which of the following factors will hold the greatest implications during the client's assessment? choose all that apply.

Options missing:

a)Her age

b) Her home environment

c) Her diet

d) Her use of drugs.

d) Her use of other drugs

Explanation:

The nurse needs to review the patient's drug history. This data will help her to assess the patient's susceptibility to illness because certain past illnesses and drugs, such as corticosteroids, suppress the inflammatory and immune responses.

Steroids work by decreasing inflammation and reducing the activity of the immune system.

The patient's age, home environment, and diet do not have any implications during her assessment because they are not related to sickness susceptibility
