2. Risk for Infection

Rationale:
In leukemia, the WBC's that are present are immature and incapable of fighting infection. The client may or may not have activity intolerance, but it is not the priority nursing diagnosis. Impaired gas exchange is not evident in this client. Children with cancer would not be receiving immunizations during treatment.
