Respuesta :

The information contained in this client's admission history will need to be addressed during discharge education, Chemotherapy treatment can cause different side effects such as

  • Hair loss
  • Diarrhea
  • Mouth sores
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Sensitive skin
  • and Even infertility.

What is the normal amount of neutrophils?

Normal level: 1500 to 7000 neutrophils per mm3 of blood. Mild neutropenia: when the blood neutrophil count drops below a lower limit of 1500 per mm3 but remains above 1000 per mm3.

Neutropenia is the very low level of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell, which helps fight infections by destroying bacteria and fungi. Patients with neutropenia are at an increased risk of developing serious infections.

With this information, we can conclude that the level of neutrophils is at a low level, the expectation is that at the patient's discharge, information common to patients undergoing chemotherapy will be passed on with information for neutropenic patients.
