The biggest dangers to clients on chemotherapy are neutropenia and the risk of serious infection or sepsis.Most infections arise from overgrowth of the client's own normal flora,so personal hygiene is critical.The client must perform hygiene measures on a schedule,even if he or she is very tired.Instead of allowing the client to rest,the nursing assistant should help the client perform oral hygiene and other measures.The other actions would be acceptable.
