Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving chemotherapy and has a platelet count of 30,000/mm3. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Apply firm pressure to the needle site following an injection. With a low platelet count of 30,000/mm3, the client is at risk for bleeding. Applying firm pressure after an injection helps prevent bleeding at the injection site, reducing the risk of bruising or hemorrhage. Platelets play a crucial role in blood clotting, and with a low count, the client's ability to clot is compromised. This action helps ensure the client's safety and prevents complications.



Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. Limiting visitors, testing urine for occult blood, and administering daily enemas are not directly related to the client's platelet count and do not address the risk of bleeding associated with low platelets. These actions may be important for other aspects of care but are not the priority in this situation.
