    A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for an older adult client who has a decreased White Blood Cell (WBC) count of 2000. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Serving cooked fruits and vegetables reduces the risk of exposure to bacteria that can be present in raw produce, which is important for a client with leukopenia (WBC 2,000) to prevent infection. B. Ambulation is beneficial for strength but does not directly address infection prevention in a client with low WBCs. C. Limiting visitors entirely is not necessary; standard precautions and hand hygiene are sufficient to reduce infection risk. D. Clients should maintain good hygiene, including bathing, to prevent skin infections; limiting bathing is not recommended.
