Answer to Question 1

4
Clients who undergo bone marrow transplantation may experience short-term side effects, including nausea, vomiting, fatigue, loss of appetite, mouth sores, hair loss, and skin reactions. These side effects are not treated with platelets or red blood cells. Limiting fluids can make the side effects worse.

Answer to Question 2

2
The American Nurses Association acknowledges six essential features of professional nursing. These include: 1) a caring relationship, 2) attention to the full range of human health and illness experiences, 3) integrates objective and subjective data, 4) applies scientific knowledge and critical thinking, 5) advances nursing knowledge through scholarly inquiry, and 6) promotes social justice. The nurse integrating objective and subjective data is implementing one of the six essential features of professional nursing. The other choices are not essential features of professional nursing.
