Idiopathic thrombocytic purpura.

Abstract	Oncology nurses often see patients with nononcologic disorders. Idiopathic thrombocytic purpura (ITP), a platelet disorder, is one such example. Being both an emergent condition as well as a chronic one, nurses will need to assess patients with ITP for bleeding and conduct extensive patient education about the disease process and treatment options.
