AB This  condition  is  a  malignant  disease  of  the  bone  marrow  and  blood  cells.  The  condition  results  in  immature  blast  cells  in  the  marrow  and  lymphoid  organs,  which  limits  development  of  normal  blood  cells.  Clients  may  develop  a  variety  of  manifestations  that  include  bleeding,  bone  pain,  fatigue,  and  neurologic  problems.  The  disease  is  found  primarily  in  older  adults  with  previous  exposure  to  environmental  hazards  and  infections.  The  treatment  of  this  condition  usually  involves  chemotherapy  followed  by  bone  marrow  transplant,  which  requires  extended  hospitalization  in  an  isolated  environment.1  Clients  undergoing  a  bone  marrow  transplant  will  be  confined  in  a  hospital  setting  to  prevent  infections.
