Question 1 of 5

A patient with advanced leukemia is responding poorly to treatment. The nurse finds the patient tearful and trying to express his feelings, but he is clearly having difficulty. What is the nurses most appropriate action?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Providing emotional support and discussing the uncertain future are crucial.

Question 2 of 5

The nurse should plan to implement which intervention in the care of a client experiencing neutropenia as a result of chemotherapy?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: In clients experiencing neutropenia, particularly due to chemotherapy, the immune system is significantly compromised, increasing the risk of infections. Hand hygiene is one of the most effective methods for preventing the spread of pathogens that can lead to infections. Teaching both the client and their family about the importance of frequent and proper handwashing helps create a safer environment and reduces the risk of infections, which can be critical in neutropenic patients.
