Question

The nurse identifies which condition as a common bacterial opportunistic infection seen in patients with HIV? A) Influenza B) Tuberculosis C) Malaria D) Diabetes

Answer 1

B) Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis (TB) is a common bacterial opportunistic infection often seen in patients with HIV, particularly when their immune system is compromised due to the HIV infection. HIV weakens the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to certain infections, including TB. Influenza, malaria, and diabetes are not directly associated with being opportunistic infections in the context of HIV.
