Which of the following interventions are appropriate for managing a patient with neutropenia? (Select all that apply)

A. Avoiding fresh flowers in the patient’s room helps reduce exposure to bacteria and fungi that can live in soil and stagnant water. This is an important infection control measure for immunocompromised patients. B. Implementing infection prevention strategies—such as strict hand hygiene, use of masks, avoiding crowds, and maintaining a clean environment—is essential in protecting neutropenic patients from potential pathogens, as they are highly susceptible to infections. C. Administering broad-spectrum antibiotics for febrile episodes is a priority intervention. In neutropenic patients, even a low-grade fever may indicate a serious, potentially life-threatening infection, and immediate antibiotic therapy is critical to prevent sepsis. D. Encouraging a high-protein diet supports immune function, tissue repair, and recovery. Adequate nutrition promotes bone marrow recovery and overall strength. E. Limiting fluid intake is not appropriate unless the patient has another condition (e.g., heart failure) requiring restriction. Adequate hydration supports circulation, kidney function, and overall recovery. F. Performing daily skin assessments helps identify early signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, or open lesions. The skin is a primary barrier against infection, so maintaining integrity is crucial. G. Administering colony-stimulating factors (e.g., filgrastim or pegfilgrastim) stimulates the bone marrow to increase neutrophil production, helping reduce the duration and severity of neutropenia.
