The primary nursing intervention for leukemia is infection prevention and management due to neutropenia from disease or treatment, along with supportive care for symptoms and treatment side effects. Leukemia features: bone marrow infiltration causing anemia (fatigue), thrombocytopenia (bleeding), neutropenia (infection). Nursing actions: implement neutropenic precautions (private room, no fresh flowers/fruits, strict hand hygiene); monitor for fever (may be only sign of infection in neutropenia); administer blood products as needed; manage chemotherapy side effects (nausea, mucositis); provide emotional support. Documentation includes temperature, infection signs, and symptom management. Patient education about infection prevention, signs to report, and treatment regimen. Nurses coordinate with oncology team for chemotherapy administration and monitoring. Bone marrow transplant may be treatment option requiring additional care. Leukemia treatment is intensive with significant physical and emotional impact. Supportive care improves quality of life during treatment.
