A nurse is planning care for a preschooler who has neutropenia. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Neutropenia significantly increases the risk of infection. Raw fruits and vegetables can harbor bacteria, so they should be avoided. B. Daily hygiene is essential to prevent infection, especially in a child with neutropenia. Bathing every other day increases the risk of skin breakdown and infection. C. Rectal temperatures can introduce bacteria into the rectum. Given the increased infection risk, oral or axillary temperatures are preferred. D. Live vaccines should be avoided in patients with neutropenia as they can cause severe infections.
