A female client is about to begin her first chemotherapy treatment. She tells the LPN, “It sounds silly, but I’m just so afraid of how people will react to me once I lose all my hair. I always had such pretty hair… I know, stupid, right?” What is the LPN’s best response?
“Most people are pretty understanding about chemo hair loss, but I know it’s hard. Have you joined our chemotherapy support group?”
“Don’t worry. The way they make wigs these days, no one will be able to tell! Would you like me to help you pick one out?”
“Your hair will grow back right after treatment stops. And for many women, it grows back even thicker and shinier! For now, just focus on getting better.”
“Many people have a hard time with chemo-related hair loss. Tell me a little more about your concerns.”
