A nurse is providing discharge teaching to a client who has acute leukemia and received chemotherapy 12 hours ago. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching? (Select all that apply.)
Correct answer
A,B,E
Rationale
Using an electric shaver reduces the risk of bleeding due to low platelet counts post-chemotherapy. Avoiding crowds minimizes infection risk in immunocompromised patients. Monitoring for bruising helps detect bleeding complications early. Taking temperature weekly is insufficient, and a low-residue diet is not typically necessary.
