Which of the following patients would MOST likely demonstrate typical signs of infection, such as a fever?

  1. A 17-year-old male with anxiety

  2. A 3-month-old female who was born prematurely

  3. An 88-year-old male with chronic renal problems

  4. A 35-year-old female in the later stages of AIDS

The correct answer is: A 17-year-old male with anxiety

Patients with anxiety may experience symptoms such as a rapid heart rate, shortness of breath, or sweating due to their anxiety. However, they are less likely to present with typical signs of infection, such as a fever. Fevers are a common response to infection as the body increases its temperature in an attempt to fight off the invading pathogens. Therefore, among the given options, the 17-year-old male with anxiety would be the least likely to demonstrate typical signs of infection like a fever.
