Which statement indicates a client understands the adverse effects of chemotherapy?

  1. I will drink more water.

  2. I'll take aspirin for headaches.

  3. I'll call my doctor if I notice any unusual menstrual bleeding.

  4. I will increase my intake of dairy products.

The correct answer is: I'll call my doctor if I notice any unusual menstrual bleeding.

Option C indicates that the client understands the adverse effects of chemotherapy because noticing unusual menstrual bleeding is a potential side effect of chemotherapy that should be reported to the doctor. This shows that the client is aware of the possible effects of the treatment and the importance of promptly notifying the healthcare provider. It is crucial to monitor and report any abnormal symptoms to ensure timely intervention and management. The other options are incorrect because increasing water intake is generally good advice but does not specifically address the adverse effects of chemotherapy. Taking aspirin for headaches may not be recommended during chemotherapy due to potential interactions or worsening of side effects. Increasing intake of dairy products is unrelated to understanding the adverse effects of chemotherapy.
