A
Feedback:
In case of a rejection response seen in a client, the nurse should administer specific anti-rejection medication according to the prescription by the physician to neutralize the rejection response in the client. The nurse need not ensure that the client avoids visitors after surgery. Ensuring that the client consumes only a liquid diet after surgery is not a necessary requirement. Cytokines are given by injections to treat specific diseases and are not administered after organ transplant surgery.
