Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a preschool age child who just received chemotherapy. The child's mother asks the nurse when it is safe for the child to attend his cousin's birthday party. Which is the correct response:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct response is C: About three weeks from today would be the safest time for him to attend a party. This answer is correct because chemotherapy can weaken the child's immune system, making him more susceptible to infections. Attending a party with a large number of people increases the risk of exposure to germs. Waiting for about three weeks allows the child's immune system to recover to a safer level before being exposed to a potentially infectious environment.
Choice A is incorrect because 7 to 10 days may not provide enough time for the child's immune system to recover adequately.
Choice B is incorrect as it disregards the child's health and safety by prioritizing immediate happiness over well-being.
Choice D is incorrect as it may be too restrictive; attending a party may be possible before completing chemotherapy if the child's immune system has recovered sufficiently.
