A Larger Nuclear-to-Cytoplasmic Ratio - CORRECT ANSWER: - larger nucleus

A patient asks how does radiation work? The nurse responds by saying • The radiologist oncologist targets the cancer and health tissue surrounding it • At high doses, it kills cancer cells or slows their growth by damaging their DNA • It kills cancer cells and other healthy cells like hair, bone marrow suppression, and the lining of the GI tract.• It causes the cells to initiated a self destruct mechanism - CORRECT ANSWER: At high doses, it kills cancer cells or slows their growth by damaging their DNA

A patient has been having frequent liquid diarrhea for the last 24 hours. A stool sample was sent to the laboratory to confirm possible Clostridium difficile infection. The nurse should monitor the patient for which electrolyte imbalance?

• Dehydration
• Hypokalemia
• Hyponatremia

D. Hypocalcemia - CORRECT ANSWER: Hypokalemia

A patient has been vomiting for two days. Which electrolyte imbalance will the nurse most likely note?• Hyponatremia • Hyperkalemia • Decreased urine specific gravity

• Dehydration - CORRECT ANSWER: Hyponatremia

A patient has had a recurrence of her lymphoma and has decided not to restart treatment. The oncologist suggests she might have 2-3 months left to live. What services would be appropriate at this time?• Hospice services • Curative services • Palliative services 1 / 3

• Rehabilitative services - CORRECT ANSWER: Hospice services

A patient is on neutropenic precautions. What is the most effective intervention to protect the patient?• Wearing a mask • Wearing gloves • Hand hygiene

• Negative air pressured room - CORRECT ANSWER: Hand hygiene

A patient is one week past their first round of chemotherapy for leukemia. The nurse

should be on the lookout for all of the following EXCEPT:

• Increased energy • Thrombocytopenia • Neutropenia

• Metabolic Acidosis - CORRECT ANSWER: Increased energy

Adjuvant therapy - CORRECT ANSWER: = Chemotherapy + surgery or radiation.

Cytotoxic effects exerted on healthy cells and cancer cells

Aldosterone (adrenal gland) - CORRECT ANSWER: o Secreted when sodium levels in

the extracellular fluid are low

• Prevents both water and sodium loss
• Triggers kidneys to reabsorb water and sodium from urine back into blood (increases

blood osmolarity and blood volume

• Promotes kidney potassium excretion

Anaplasia - CORRECT ANSWER: - loss of appearance of parent cell

Aneuploidy - CORRECT ANSWER: Abnormal number of chromosomes.

Angiogenesis inhibitors(immunotherapy) - CORRECT ANSWER: Targets mammalian

target of rapamycin; reduces concentration of vascular endothelial growth factor, disrupts cell division.

Angiotensin 2 - CORRECT ANSWER: constricts arteries and veins, lowers GFR rates to reduce urine output, signals kidneys to promote aldosterone

Antidiuretic hormone (vasopressin) (pituitary gland) - CORRECT ANSWER: o Released in response to change in blood osmolarity

• Retains only water> INDIRECTLY regulates electrolyte excretion and retention

Assessing therapy effectiveness - CORRECT ANSWER: (Surgical classification type)

Assessment findings - CORRECT ANSWER: o Weakness

• Sleeping more
• Anorexia 2 / 3

• Changes in organ system function
• Cold, mottled, cyanotic extremities
• Changes in breathing pattern
• Decreased LOC

Benign Cell Features - CORRECT ANSWER: o Harmless

• Do not usually require intervention
• Slow growing
• Tight Adherence
• Specific morphology
• Small nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratio
• Specific differentiated functions
• Tight adherence
• Orderly growth
• No migration
• Normal chromosomes

Benign cell looks similar to a - CORRECT ANSWER: healthy cell

Benign cells - CORRECT ANSWER: Normal cells growing in the wrong place or at the wrong time

Benign Cells features - CORRECT ANSWER: • Specific morphology - resemble the

tissues they originated from • A smaller nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratio - similar to normal cells • Specific differentiated function - contributes to the body function • Tight adherence - bind closely together due to the production of fibronectin • No migration - do not invade other tissues • Orderly growth - rate of growth is normal by expansion • Euploidy - normal chromosomes per cell

Biopsy Diagnostic Tests - CORRECT ANSWER: o Breast biopsy

• Bone marrow biopsy
• Organ/tissue specific

Blastoma - CORRECT ANSWER: malignant tumors of less differentiated, embryonal

tissue

Ca(Calcium) normal range - CORRECT ANSWER: 9.0 to 10.5

Cancer classification - CORRECT ANSWER: o Grading

• Ploidy
• Staging
• TNM
• Doubling time and mitotic index
• / 3
