Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
All teaching topics are important to the client with lymphoma, but for a young male, sperm banking is of particular concern if the client is going to have radiation to the lower abdomen or pelvis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
In leukemia, the WBCs are abnormal and do not provide protection to the client against infection. The other statements are not accurate.
