Aclient with the diagnosis of breast cancer is scheduled to receive radiation therapy to the affected area. the nurse teaches the client about how to care for the area that will be irradiated. which client statement indicates the nurse needs to follow up?

The best answer to the question: Which client statement indicates the nurse need to follow up? Would be: "So I need to apply pressure to the area to prevent bleeding spells".

Explanation:

Radiation therapy to treat breast cancer is no small matter, but the problem is that many patients do not really understand the importance of such a procedure and also the effects it will have on their skin, and underlying tissues, while it tries to fight back the tumor. The skin, which is one of the first, and most, affected tissues of all the body when radiation therapy is used can be easily inflammed and further damaged if the wrong pre-radiation, and post-radiation measures are taken by a patient, and hearing one say that they will apply pressure to the site of radiation to prevent bleeding is definitely a reason to intervene and restate a few things about care. The patient needs to understand that No pressure must be applied on the spot where the therapy will be applied as it will rather cause more harm than do any good.
