A nurse is caring for a 12-year-old child with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who has just completed the first cycle of chemotherapy and is experiencing severe neutropenia with an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) of 200 cells/mm³. Which nursing intervention should be the highest priority?
1Encourage the client to perform deep breathing exercises every 2 hours
2Monitor the client's fluid intake and output every 8 hours
With an ANC of 200 cells/mm³, the client is at high risk for life-threatening infections, making neutropenic precautions the highest priority to prevent pathogen exposure. Other interventions (breathing exercises, fluid monitoring, antiemetics) are important but less urgent.
