Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4

1. Chemotherapy is administered in the clinical setting, and is not self-administered.
2. It is not necessary for the client to monitor urine output.
3. The client does not need to learn to take a pulse.
4. The client with Hodgkin lymphoma is at risk for infection. The nurse teaches measures to help prevent infection.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2

1. Monitoring urine output closely is not necessary.
2. The skin of the affected limb is swollen and stretched, and can break down easily, causing infection. The nurse should plan to monitor the skin closely and provide skin care.
3. The affected arm is kept immobile and elevated to facilitate lymph drainage.
4. If the swelling is severe, sodium in the diet is restricted to prevent further swelling.
