➤ How should nurses teach patients to monitor for infection while on doxorubicin?
Instruct patients to take daily temperatures and report readings over 100.4°F (38°C). Tell them to call for new sore throat, mouth sores, cough, chills, or unusual bleeding. Advise strict hand hygiene, avoiding crowds, and keeping scheduled CBC checks to detect neutropenia early and enable rapid treatment.
