The answer includes the following symptoms:

  • Fatigue
  • Weight loss
  • Nonproductive cough
  • Night sweats

Explanation for each option:

  1. Fatigue: Correct. Fatigue is a common symptom of primary progressive tuberculosis (TB) due to the body's ongoing fight against the infection.
  2. Sore throat: Incorrect. A sore throat is not typically associated with primary progressive TB. It is more commonly linked to upper respiratory infections or other conditions.
  3. Weight loss: Correct. Unexplained weight loss is a classic symptom of TB, as the infection can cause a decrease in appetite and increased metabolic demands.
  4. Nonproductive cough: Correct. A persistent, nonproductive cough is a common symptom of TB, especially in the early stages.
  5. Night sweats: Correct. Night sweats are a hallmark symptom of TB, often occurring due to the body's immune response to the infection.

Summary: The symptoms that suggest a client may be suffering from primary progressive tuberculosis infection are fatigue, weight loss, nonproductive cough, and night sweats.
