单项选择题
Which of the following would the nurse teach the mother of a child with leukemia who has an absolute neutrophil count of 900/mm3
A. The child should wear gloves when in contact with others.
B. The child should stay away from crowds of people.
C. The child should eat raw fruits and vegetables.
D. Anyone in direct contact with the child must wear a gown and mask.
答案
参考答案：B
解析：The normal neutrophil count range is 3,000 to 5,000 cells/mm3. An absolute neutrophil count of 900/mm3 is low, placing the child at high risk for infection. Therefore, the nurse should instruct the mother to have the child avoid crowds because of the risk of exposure to infection. Additionally, siblings and others who have an active infection should stay away from the child.
