A child with the diagnosis of AML is receiving chemotherapy. The platelet count is 10,000/mm3. The teaching plan for the caregiver should include:
 
  1. Maintaining isolation precautions.
   2. Visitors being limited with visiting time.
   3. Using a soft toothbrush for mouth care.
   4. An assessment of the vital signs every four hours.

1. The platelet count is not in a range to need precautions at this time.
2. The patient may be tired, but visiting times do not need to be limited.
3. The soft toothbrush will minimize bleeding while performing mouth care.
4. Vital signs need to occur per protocol and as frequently as the patient's status renders.
