Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Patients who receive hematopoietic stem cell transplantation are at risk for infection and other complications. The nurse should inform the patient that they may not feel well and emphasize the importance of infection prevention measures. Options A and B are incorrect because it is too early to tell if the patient's body has accepted the transplant or if they are making normal hematopoietic cells. Option C is incorrect because the described phenomenon is graft-versus-host disease, which is not a normal occurrence and can be life-threatening.
