Question 1 of 5

The nurse is caring for a patient with a platelet count of <20,000/mm3 (150,000-400000). Which of the following precautions should the nurse take in providing care for this patient?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: With a low platelet count, the patient is at high risk for bleeding. Using a soft toothbrush minimizes the risk of gum injury and bleeding, which is a critical safety measure for thrombocytopenic patients. Reporting fever, while important, does not address bleeding risk directly. Hot liquids and straight razors increase the risk of burns or cuts, which could lead to uncontrollable bleeding.
