Feedback
1. This is incorrect. Although avoiding falls is important, it is not the main priority
for a patient presenting with a diagnosis of CML and leukocytosis. Preventing
opportunistic infections should be the priority.
2. This is incorrect. Although managing pain is important, it is not the main priority
for a patient presenting with a diagnosis of CML and leukocytosis. Preventing
opportunistic infections should be the priority.
3. This is correct. The nurse’s priority should be planning interventions to prevent
opportunistic infections for the patient with CML and significant leukocytosis.
Focus on promoting good hygiene and assist with hygiene when needed.
Administer prescribed antibiotics, and monitor vital signs and trend
temperatures.
4. This is incorrect. Although promoting adequate nutrition is important, it is not
the main priority for a patient presenting with a diagnosis of CML and
leukocytosis. Preventing opportunistic infections should be the priority.
2. A patient with diabetes requires assessment of long-term glucose control. Which test would be
most appropriate for this patient?
