Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Immunosuppression is a common side effect of bone marrow transplants, which means that the client's immune system is not as strong as it should be, making them susceptible to infections. The massage therapist must take extra care to ensure that their hands and equipment are clean and avoid any techniques that may cause injury or infection.
