1... When the child is thrombocytopenic (decreased platelets) from chemotherapy, the nurse should not administer IM injections because of the risk of bleeding. Oral hygiene care should be done with a soft toothbrush and intake and output monitored for any abnormalities. Gentle palpation should still be included in physical assessments.
