Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the condition: Multiple myeloma is a type of cancer that affects plasma cells, which are a type of white blood cell found in the bone marrow.
Identify the primary location of plasma cells: Plasma cells are primarily located in the bone marrow, which is part of the skeletal system.
Consider the impact on the skeletal system: Multiple myeloma can lead to bone pain, fractures, and other skeletal issues due to the proliferation of abnormal plasma cells in the bone marrow.
Evaluate the other systems: While multiple myeloma can have secondary effects on other systems, such as the nervous system (due to bone fractures affecting nerves) or the respiratory system (due to anemia), the primary system affected is the skeletal system.
Conclude that the skeletal system is primarily affected in a client with multiple myeloma, as the disease originates and primarily impacts the bone marrow within the skeletal system.
