Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Ibuprofen is not indicated because it can precipitate bleeding, and the client is already at risk for anemia.
Rationale 2: Naproxen is not indicated because it can precipitate bleeding, and the client is already at risk for anemia.
Rationale 3: Aspirin is not indicated because it can precipitate bleeding, and the client is already at risk for anemia.
Rationale 4: Acetaminophen is the drug of choice for chemotherapy clients because it does not precipitate bleeding.
Global Rationale: The patient taking chemotherapy is at risk for bleeding and should avoid drugs that compound the risk. Acetaminophen does not precipitate bleeding.

Rationale 2: This is not a therapeutic response.
Rationale 3: This is the best therapeutic response.
Rationale 4: This is not the best response.
