b. Encourage the patient to arrange for an appropriate head covering at extremes of temperature. 

c. Advise the patient to lie with the legs elevated and head low to promote circulation and prevent hair loss. 

d. Encourage the patient to arrange for a wig or other head covering before the hair loss occurs. 

e. Advise the patient that people will stare and can be rude when hair loss occurs. 

f. Make arrangements for the patient to attend a support group before hair loss happens.
