The client being discharged home after a bone marrow transplantation for leukemia asks why protection from injury is so important. What is the nurse’s best response?
A.   “The transplanted bone marrow cells are very fragile and trauma could result in rejection of the transplant.”
B.   “Trauma is likely to result in loss of skin integrity, increasing the risk for infection when you are already immunosuppressed.”
C.   “Platelet recovery is slower than white blood cell recovery and you remain at risk longer for bleeding than you do for infection.”
D.   “The medication regimen after transplantation includes drugs that slow down cell division, making healing after any injury more difficult.”
