Question 1 of 5
A 52-year-old client with lung cancer tells the nurse that he has a low-grade fever (100.6°F [38.1°C]), nonproductive cough, and increasing fatigue. He completed the radiation therapy to the mass in his right lung and mediastinum 10 weeks ago and has a follow-up appointment to see the physician in 2 weeks. What is the most appropriate response by the nurse?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Fever, cough, and fatigue post-radiation may indicate infection or pneumonitis, requiring prompt evaluation, especially in a lung cancer patient, so an office visit today is appropriate.
