Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Leukopenia is a condition in which the number of white blood cells in the body is decreased. White blood cells are important for fighting infections, and when their number is low, the client is at a higher risk of developing infections. Placing the client in a private room and limiting visitors helps to protect the client from potential infection by reducing their exposure to infectious agents that may be brought in by visitors or staff.
