Choice B rationale:

Nausea, vomiting, alopecia (hair loss), and mucositis (inflammation of the mucous membranes) are common side effects of chemotherapy.

Monitoring for these side effects is essential because they can significantly impact the patient's quality of life and may require supportive care interventions such as antiemetic medications for nausea and vomiting or oral care for mucositis.

Choice A rationale:

Rash, edema, fatigue, and diarrhea are not typical side effects of chemotherapy.

While fatigue can occur, the other symptoms mentioned are not commonly associated with chemotherapy.

Choice C rationale:

Difficulty breathing, cytokine release syndrome, and neurotoxicity are more commonly associated with certain immunotherapy or targeted therapy treatments rather than traditional chemotherapy.

These side effects are not typical for chemotherapy in leukemia patients.

Choice D rationale:

Skin irritation, fatigue, nausea, and dysphagia are mentioned, but they are not the most common side effects of chemotherapy in leukemia patients.

The primary side effects to monitor in this context are as stated in choice B.
