Choice D here would by far be the best option to take and adhere to. Neturopenia is an affliction where severe bacteria infections are very abundant. There are fruits and vegetables that are known to be harborers of certain bacterias. This would be a bad thing for a person suffering from neutropenia. The same thing can be said when it comes to the use of enemas.

While any medical facility goes out of their way to be sterile, an enema takes place in an area where bacteria is very prevelent and this could increase the risk of those bacterias being transferred to another patient. Frequent hand washing is certainly something that should always be done around these types of patients. Simply going to the bathroom or opening a door can cause bacteria to transfer from one person to another.

Any kind of bacterial intrustion of someone who is a neutropenia patient would be a very bad thing and could actually lead to a fatal outcome. That is certainly what a nurse does not want to happen and that is why they should always be vigilant in preventing any bacteria to come in contact with a neutropenia patient.

Eliminate fresh fruits and vegetables, avoid using enemas, and practice frequent hand washing.-rationale: neutropenia occurs when the absolute neutrophil count falls below 1,000/mm3, reflecting a severe risk of infection. the nurse should provide a low-bacterial diet, which means eliminating fresh fruits and vegetables, avoiding invasive procedures such as enemas, and practicing frequent hand washing. using a soft toothbrush, avoiding straight-edged razors and enemas, and monitoring for bleeding are precautions for clients with thrombocytopenia. putting on a mask, gown, and gloves when entering the clients room are reverse isolation measures. a neutropenic client doesnt need a clear liquid diet or sodium restrictions.client needs category: safe, effective care environmentclient needs subcategory: safety and infection controlcognitive level: applicationreference: smeltzer, s.c., et al. brunner and suddarths textbook of medical surgical-nursing, 11th ed. philadelphia: lippincott williams & wilkins, 2008, p. 1069.
