رجل عمره ٦٠ سنة عنده سرطان، ويأخذ كيماوياً، والآن تنميل وحرقان في اليدين والقدمين يزيد تدريجياً، ويصعب عليه زرّ القميص. ما الأرجح وما التعليم؟

A 60-year-old on chemotherapy has gradually worsening numbness and burning in the hands and feet and difficulty buttoning his shirt. What is likely and what is taught?

1. Stroke; call an ambulance
2. Neuropathy; protect the feet
3. Hypoglycaemia; give juice
4. Skin allergy; moisturiser

Answer: B) Neuropathy; protect the feet. Some chemotherapy drugs cause peripheral neuropathy; the team is told to adjust dosing, and the client checks feet, tests water temperature and wears proper shoes.
