ANS: Assisting the client to pre plan for this event.
RATIONALE- Alopecia does not occur for all clients who have
cancer, but when it does, it can be devastating. The best action by
the nurse is to teach the client about the possibility and to give the
client multiple choices for preparing for this event. Not all clients will
have the same reaction, but some possible actions the client can
take are buying a
wig ahead of time, buying attractive hats and scarves, and having a
hairdresser modify a wig to look like the client's own hair. Teaching
about scalp protection is important but does not address the
psychosocial impact. Reassuring the client that hair loss is temporary
and telling him or her that there are worse side
effects are both patronizing and do not give the client tools to manage
this condition.
