Monitoring the complete blood count daily can help detect any changes in the patient's white blood cell count, which can indicate an infection or changes in their immunologic status. Limiting iron-rich foods and performing passive range of motion are not directly related to immunologic status. Keeping the patient on bed rest may contribute to immunosuppression, so it is important to encourage mobility and activity as clinically indicated.
