A patient with breast cancer asks why her hair is falling out while receiving chemotherapy when the cancer is in her breast. What is the nurse’s best response?
a.   “Breast cells and hair cells are similar. Any drug that affects one can be expected to affect the other.”
b.   “The chemotherapy is interfering with your nutritional status. Eating more protein will help stop the hair loss.”
c.   “It is possible that some cancer cells have escaped from your breast. Chemotherapy will kill cancer cells wherever they are.”
d.   “Chemotherapy is delivered to all tissues and exerts the same damaging effects on some normal cells as well as on cancer cells.”
