Answer to Question 1

c

Answer to Question 2

C
Fever is the principal early sign of infection, which can have extremely serious implications for an immunosuppressed patient. Because of a lack of neutrophils as a result of chemotherapy, signs of infection may be masked.
Lightly bleeding gums, nausea, and vomiting are to be expected in patients receiving chemothe-rapy.
Diarrhea and stomatitis also are common in patients receiving chemotherapy.
