The nurse should advice the client to avoid traumatic injury and exposure to infection. Pancytopenia is a condition in which the bone marrow is unable to produce enough blood cell. The body will have few red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. This condition makes he body weak and vulnerable to diseases and that is why the client should be cautious and avoid infection.
