B. "I will let you know if I feel any pain or burning at my port site"

C. " I need a cold drink with ice."

D. "The neuropathy in my feet can get better"

Answer 1

ANSWER- C.

During the treatment with Oxaliplatin administration, cold temperatures and cold objects must be avoided.

In fact while going outside you should cover skin, mouth , nose in cold temperatures , no cold drink or cold items

should be taken because you will feel difficulting in breathing , swallowing and might feel chest pressure.

So, to avoid this exposure to cold should be avoided.

Constipation is a side effect of Oxaliplatin and neuropathy and burning at port site is also side effects of this

administration.

So, the option to select is C. " I need a cold drink with ice."
