Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The client is experiencing expected short-term side effects of bone marrow transplantation. It is important for the nurse to provide education and information to the client about what to expect during recovery. The nurse should explain that these symptoms are common and expected, and reassure the client that they will improve over time. Administering platelets or red blood cells would not necessarily address these specific symptoms, and limiting fluids could exacerbate the client's fatigue and other symptoms.
