Feedback:
Most of the disorders related to the lymph glands cause an inflammation of the lymph nodes. As a result, the nurse should assess the extent of enlargement of the lymph glands in a client suspected of a lymphatic disorder. Fever and sore throat are the secondary signs and symptoms in such disorders. These clients do not complain of painful joints or exhibit signs of leukopenia and thrombocytopenia.
