RESUMO
After intensive chemotherapy followed by an allograft of haematopoietic stem cells, patients are immunocompromised for several months, or even years. They are vulnerable to bacteria and viral and fungal infections, and they must be made aware of the strict hygiene precautions to follow before they return home. Working alongside these patients in a therapeutic education approach, the nurse informs and guides them on the practices to adopt and the warning signs to look out for in the event of complications.
