Feedback:
Bone marrow is typically affected in clients receiving radiation or chemotherapy. These therapies lower platelets and RBCs and WBCs (myelosuppression) and, therefore, clients have an increased risk of bleeding, anemia, and infection. Mucous membranes and skin may be more susceptible to infection and bleeding, but injury to them does not typically cause anemia. Lung function is not a factor.
