A client with a diagnosis of Human Immunodeficiency Virus develops pneumonia. What type of infection is this?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: An opportunistic infection.

Option C, pathogenic infection, is incorrect because while pneumonia is caused by pathogens, in the context of HIV, it is specifically termed as an opportunistic infection. Option D, nosocomial infection, is also incorrect as it refers to infections acquired in a healthcare setting, not related to the patient's HIV status.
