D
The patient will need to take precautions against infection. Chemotherapy and radiation have a negative impact upon the immune system and leave patients vulnerable. A soft toothbrush or Water-pik reduces the chance of infection due to bleeding gums. The teen will need to rest frequently in order to maintain strength for needed activities. Table 16-1 has an extensive list of additional measures.
