Final answer:
The incorrect statement by the client with thrombocytopenia is option 'd', which suggests they may avoid playing sports with their grandkids entirely. Patients should be advised on balance between safety and quality of life, allowing some physical activities with appropriate precautions.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement that indicates a need to review the information regarding precautions to take with thrombocytopenia is 'd. "I won't be able to play sports with my grandkids."' While individuals with thrombocytopenia should avoid activities that could lead to injury or bleeding, this statement may show an unnecessary restriction. Education about thrombocytopenia emphasizes safety measures to prevent bleeding due to the lower platelet count, such as using an electric shaver instead of a razor to minimize cuts (option b), and being careful with procedures like enemas which could cause injury to tissues (option a). However, with the right precautions, such as wearing protective gear and avoiding high-risk sports, some physical activities may still be safely enjoyed.
Ongoing dialogue with healthcare professionals can help clarify these precautions. Therefore, the patient’s statement should be addressed to make sure they understand the balance between safety and quality of life.
The choice of soft food, as mentioned in option c, is generally recommended to avoid irritation or injury to the mouth and digestive tract, which could lead to bleeding when platelet levels are low.
