A nurse is providing teaching to a client who has thrombocytopenia following chemotherapy. Which of the following statements indicates an understanding of the teaching?

Rationale: A. "I will remove my shoes when I'm inside my house.": While keeping the environment safe from tripping hazards is good for general safety, removing shoes does not specifically prevent bleeding, which is the main concern in thrombocytopenia. This action does not demonstrate understanding of bleeding precautions. B. "I will floss between my teeth every time I brush": Flossing can cause gum bleeding, which is risky for clients with low platelet counts. Effective teaching would emphasize avoiding activities that may cause mucosal or skin bleeding, so this statement reflects a misunderstanding. C. "I will wipe my nose instead of blowing it.": Gentle wiping reduces the risk of nasal bleeding, which is important in clients with thrombocytopenia. This statement shows the client understands the need to minimize trauma to areas prone to bleeding and demonstrates correct application of bleeding precautions. D. "I will use an enema to manage my constipation.": Using an enema can cause mucosal trauma and rectal bleeding, which is unsafe for clients with thrombocytopenia. Safe constipation management would involve gentle measures such as stool softeners and increased hydration.
