Which of the following individuals is least likely at risk for the development of Kaposi's sarcoma? 1. A kidney transplant client 2. A male with a history of same-sex partners 3. A client receiving antineoplastic medications 4. An individual working in an environment where exposure to asbestos exists Answer: 2 Rationale: Kaposi's sarcoma is a vascular malignancy that presents as a skin disorder and is a common acquired immunodeficiency syndrome indicator. It isn't seen frequently in men with a history of same-sex partners. Although the cause of Kaposi's sarcoma is not known, it is considered to be the result of an alteration or failure in the immune system. The renal transplant client and the client receiving antineoplastic medications are at risk for immunosuppression. Exposure to asbestos is not related to the development of Kaposi's sarcoma.
