Bone marrow suppression leads to neutropenia and increases the client's risk for infection.Decreased numbers of neutrophils and other white blood cells can minimize the clinical manifestations of infection.For this reason,the client may not develop a high temperature,even with severe infection,and any elevation of temperature should be reported immediately to the health care provider.The client does not need to wear a mask or use a soft toothbrush (although if the client has low platelets,he or she should use a soft toothbrush to avoid causing trauma).The client is not contagious.
