It is time for the client's third round of chemotherapy for lung cancer. After checking the client's white blood count, the decision is made to delay the treatment for an additional week because of the low white blood count and the increased risk for infection. The client is upset at the delay. What is your best response?
A.   “This extra time will give your hair a chance to grow back in.”
B.   “I will call the physician and request a prescription for something to calm your nerves.”
C.   “Try not to worry. Your counts will probably be high enough next week and the chemotherapy will work just as well then.”
D.   “This delay is for the best because receiving the chemotherapy now would greatly increase your risks for skin-related complications.”
