A client recently started on chemotherapy states, “The doctor told me my stem cells were down. A stem cell sounds like something on a flower! What did the doctor mean?” Which response by the nurse provides the best explanation?
1. “Stem cells are found in your bone marrow. They can turn into red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets, depending on what your body needs at the time. Right now, your body is producing fewer than it should.”
2. “Did the oncology nurse give you a copy of the pamphlet that discusses the unwanted effects of chemotherapy?”
3. “Bone marrow depression is a common side effect of chemotherapy, but it can be treated.”
4. “The complete blood count you had yesterday showed a decrease in the number of stem cells. Your doctor is keeping you informed.”
