A nurse is caring for a 10-year-old child who is receiving chemotherapy. The child's guardian asks about managing adverse effects. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?

A. Chemotherapy can decrease platelet count, increasing the risk of bleeding. A soft-bristled toothbrush helps prevent gum bleeding. B. This might help stimulate appetite but it doesn't address the specific concerns related to chemotherapy side effects. C. If stomatitis develops, which is a painful inflammation and ulceration of the mouth, rinsing with a mild saline solution is generally recommended rather than chlorhexidine mouthwash, which can sometimes cause irritation. D. Antiemetics should be administered as needed based on the child's symptoms, not on a fixed schedule.
