What should a nurse check when a client receiving cisplatin reports fatigue?

Client's temperature
Most recent CBC
Blood pressure
Urine output

The correct answer is: Most recent CBC

A. Checking the client's temperature would not be useful in this scenario as fatigue is not commonly associated with changes in temperature. C. Blood pressure is not likely to be affected by cisplatin-related fatigue. D. Urine output is not typically impacted by cisplatin-related fatigue, making it less relevant for the nurse to check in this scenario. Additionally, urine output is generally monitored for kidney function and hydration status, which may not be directly related to fatigue. The most relevant and useful option for the nurse to check in this scenario would be the client's most recent CBC, as it can provide information on their overall blood cell counts and any potential abnormalities that may be causing the fatigue.
