A client is receiving chemotherapy for cancer and develops thrombocytopenia. What should the nurse include in the client's plan of care because of the thrombocytopenia?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Thrombocytopenia increases bleeding risk; avoiding injections prevents hematomas or hemorrhage. Positioning, fluid limits, or exercise don't address bleeding risk.
