Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. "I will take my child's rectal temperature daily.": Taking a rectal temperature in a child receiving chemotherapy is not recommended because it increases the risk of rectal injury and infection. An oral or axillary temperature is preferred.
B. "I will make sure to inspect my child's mouth every day for sores." Chemotherapy suppresses the immune system, leaving the child vulnerable to infections such as mucositis. Inspecting the mouth daily is crucial to detect any sores or signs of infection early and prevent complications.
C. "I will make sure my child gets their MMR vaccine this week.": Live vaccines like the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine should not be given during chemotherapy or other forms of immunosuppressive treatment.
D. "I will ensure my child exercises a little each day by riding their bicycle.": Exercise may be limited during chemotherapy due to fatigue and increased susceptibility to infection. Physical activity should be tailored to the child's ability and energy level, not mandated.
