TO ALL FATIMA STUDENTS
There is a controversial conflict between me and the other three reviewers there about this question:
A client with leukemia has neutropenia. Which of the following functions must be frequently assessed?
A. Blood pressure
B. Bowel sounds
C. Temperature
D. Breath Sounds
ANSWER : BREATH SOUNDS
Pneumonia, both viral and funal is a common cause of death in clients with neutropenia, so frequent assessment of respiratory rate and breath sounds is required. Although assessing blood pressure, bowel sounds and temperature is important, it wont help detect pneumonia
SOURCE : NCLEX RN MADE INCREDIBLY EASY 3RD EDITION PAGE 85 Number 67 and Brunner and Suddarths CD questionnaire 10th edition , clients with hematologic and immune problems.
Another thing, the earliest and the most reliable sign of infection among elderly is the ALTERATION OF MENTATION and not FEVER. this is again, from brunner and suddarths 10th edition CD on the chapter of FUNDAMENTALS OF NURSING.
I learned at an early age that I should tell good things about other people and not the contrary. Once they heard that I am talking good things about them, they will do the same.
thanks a lot.

"No flattery can heal a bad conscience, so no slander can hurt a good one."
oi wag kayong ganyan... they both have a point... wag kayong magkampihan...
alin dun 'yung karma? wala namang ibang intentions ang mga reviewers natin but to impart their learnings...
tama na po yan...
bati bati na...
good luck saten...

Your'e right budek, in prioritization dapat ABC muna, beath sounds ang sagot doon. Lahat na choices tama , kaya they need to choice sa dalawa fever at breath sounds, the one who made the questions, gusto lang niya e test ang examinee kung marunong sila mag prioritize, di ba.. TAMA KA.
