Correct Answer is ["A","C","D"]

Explanation

A. In January, WBC count was 5,500/mm3. In February, it decreased to 4,500/mm3. A decrease in WBC count indicates an improvement in the client's condition, suggesting a potential reduction in chemotherapy-related immunosuppression.
B. In January, platelet count was 150,000/mm3. In February, it decreased slightly to 140,000/mm3. The slight decrease in platelet count may not necessarily indicate improvement but is relatively stable.
C. In January, the client reported bleeding episodes from mouth ulcers. In February, the client reports no bleeding episodes. The absence of bleeding episodes indicates improvement in oral mucosal health and potential effectiveness of interventions.
D. In January, the oral mucosa was inflamed. In February, there is noted improvement with less inflammation. Improved oral health with reduced inflammation indicates a positive response to interventions and potentially better oral hygiene practices.
E. The client experienced weight loss of 1.5 kg (3.3 lb) from January to February. Weight loss may indicate ongoing challenges with nutrition despite efforts to increase food intake and manage symptoms.
