A nurse is educating a client who has chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?

Choice A reason: Wearing gloves when washing dishes is the correct answer because peripheral neuropathy causes decreased sensation in the hands, increasing the risk of burns or injury from hot water or sharp objects. Gloves provide protection and reduce exposure to extreme temperatures, thereby preventing injury. Choice B reason: Loose-fitting shoes can increase the risk of falls and foot injuries because they do not provide adequate support or protection. Clients with neuropathy require well-fitting shoes to prevent trauma and pressure injuries. Choice C reason: Inspecting feet weekly is insufficient. Clients with neuropathy should inspect their feet daily due to the high risk of unnoticed injuries, infections, or ulcers. Weekly inspection delays detection and treatment of complications. Choice D reason: Eating foods low in fiber is inappropriate. Fiber is important for maintaining gastrointestinal health, especially since chemotherapy can cause constipation. A low-fiber diet would worsen bowel issues rather than help neuropathy.
