The client who is immune-suppressed and has bone marrow suppression should be taught not to
floss his teeth because platelets are decreased.
 Option A: Oil or cream-based soap is allowed for leukemia patients because
these will prevent dry skin, which predisposes to skin injury.

risk of injury to the skin that can cause bleeding.
