1. The preparation of the child and the caregivers for the weeks of hospitalization and social isolation required is a priority. A discussion with the child and caregivers will include the factors of the critical period of recovery for the client from the removal of cancer cells, transfusing histocompatible stem cells, and monitoring for signs of rejection.
2. Isolation is not the top priority at this time.
3. It is not stated that the child has a central line at this time, thus it is not a priority.
4. The concentration should be on the preparation of what is going to occur and how goals will be met.
