QUESTION

Joe Williams, a 28-year-old male client, is diagnosed with stage IA Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

Joe Williams, a 28-year-old male client, is diagnosed with stage IA Hodgkin's Lymphoma. He went to his physician earlier in the month stating that he has a painless lump on his neck he found while shaving. The client had mononucleosis 1 year ago. The nurse reviews the electronic medical record, noting that the left cervical lymph node was biopsied and had Reed-Sternberg cells present. The client also has splenomegaly present, so the nurse knows not to assess this area to avoid the possibility of rupturing the spleen. The LPN/LVN assigned to care for the client monitors the client for potential problems associated with Hodgkin's disease.

(Learning Objective 9)

  1. Noting that the client has stage IA Hodgkin's lymphoma, what are the symptoms the LPN recognizes the client does not have?
  2. What are the four problems the nurse should monitor the client for and address if they occur?
