Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The client should be given the opportunity to talk with someone who has undergone treatment with chemotherapy that causes hair loss.It would be ineffective for the nurse to suggest that the client should simply start shopping for wigs/scarves or shave her head.This would prevent the client from making her own decision.It would be incorrect for the nurse to tell the client that total body hair loss will occur.This may not happen.It depends completely on the agent given.
