A nurse is providing education to a client diagnosed with leukemia about common signs and symptoms. The nurse should include which symptoms as potential manifestations of leukemia? Select all that apply.

A) This choice is incorrect because leukemia does not primarily affect the lymph nodes. It is a cancer of the blood and bone marrow, where abnormal white blood cells are produced.

B) This choice is incorrect because leukemia is not characterized by the overproduction of platelets. Platelets are involved in blood clotting, and their overproduction is not a feature of leukemia.

C) This choice is correct. Leukemia is a type of cancer characterized by the uncontrolled proliferation of abnormal white blood cells in the bone marrow. These abnormal cells then enter the bloodstream, crowding out healthy blood cells and impairing normal blood cell function.

D) This choice is incorrect because leukemia is not an autoimmune disorder. It is a cancerous condition involving abnormal white blood cell growth.

A) This choice is incorrect because swollen lymph nodes are more characteristic of chronic leukemia, not acute leukemia like AML.

B) This choice is correct. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is commonly associated with enlarged lymph nodes due to the accumulation of abnormal lymphocytes in these areas. It is a slow-progressing leukemia and often presents with lymphadenopathy.

C) This choice is incorrect because while ALL may involve enlarged lymph nodes, it is more commonly associated with symptoms like fatigue, bleeding, and bone pain.

D) This choice is incorrect because while CML may present with enlarged spleen and liver, it is less likely to cause significant lymphadenopathy compared to CLL.
