The nurse should take precautions to prevent infection in the client who has a reduction in immune function.It does not matter whether it is temporary or permanent.Teaching the family what to do after the client is discharged from the hospital would not be the primary action.Taking vital signs would be an important action but would not prevent infection,which is the priority.
