A nurse is caring for a client who is undergoing chemotherapy. A relative of the client wants to bring the client a bouquet of flowers. What is expected of the nurse in this given situation?
A) Set the flowers on the client's table.
B) Allow the relative to present the flowers to the client.
C) Explain to the relative why the flowers are not allowed in the room.
D) Accept the flowers and hand them to the client.
C
Feedback:
The nurse should explain to the relative that flowers are not allowed in the room because the client is immunocompromised and could easily be infected. The nurse should not set the flowers on the client's table, allow the relative to give the flowers to the client, or accept the flowers and hand them to the client.
