The nurse who is caring for a client with cancer notes a WBC of 500 on the laboratory results. Which intervention would be most appropriate to include in the client's plan of care?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
A WBC of 500 indicates severe neutropenia, increasing infection risk. Avoiding crowds and sick people is critical to prevent infections. The other interventions are less specific.
