a. an increased resistance to opportunistic infections
b. normal values for pregnant HIV clients

d. efficacy of zidovudine (AZT) therapy
C
The confirming diagnosis of AIDS usually occurs at a CD4 T-cell count of less than 200 cells/microliter. The normal CD4 T-cell count is 1,000 cells/microliter. The client's depleted CD4 T-cell count is not a manifestation of AZT efficacy.
