B) "Avoid foods that contain bacteria, such as fresh fruits and vegetables"
C) "Include raw seafood in your diet for protein"
D) "Avoid all cooked vegetables"
Answer: B

higher requires immediate reporting to the provider. Nausea, alopecia, and fatigue
are expected side effects of chemotherapy.

venipuncture sites.

client for which of the following adverse effects?

aspiration. The client does not need to be NPO for 8 hours and can usually walk
shortly after the procedure.
