Answer

Answer: B."In the neutropenia patient, WBC counts are depressed, and do not rise with infection. Reports of chills or presence of heat, redness or swelling could be due to other factors. Even a low grade fever is considered significant in the neutropenia patient, as they lack the ability to fight off infection. Consider normal signs and symptoms of infection and how those would be altered in the patient with neutropenia."
