Quizplus · Accepted Answer

After a bone marrow transplant, the client's immune system is severely compromised, and they are at high risk for infection. Therefore, monitoring the client closely to prevent infection is a top priority for the nurse. Monitoring the client's toilet patterns, physical condition, and heart rate are also important, but they are not the top priority.
