A healthcare professional is caring for a patient
undergoing chemotherapy. What is the skin-related health
risk the professional should assess the patient for and be
prepared to treat?
a. Infection
b. Ultraviolet damage
c. Pain
d. Erythema - ANSWER-A. Decreased renewal rates of
the epidermal layers in the skin may lead to skin
breakdown and dryness, altering the normal barrier
protection against infection. The healthcare professional
should assess the patient for infection regularly and be
prepared to treat any infection noted. Radiation therapy
may cause skin erythema (redness). Pain and ultraviolet
damage is not related to chemotherapies.
Which gastrointestinal tract condition can be an outcome
of both chemotherapy and radiation therapy?
a. Increased cell turnover
b. Constipation
c. Stomatitis
,2|Page
d. Bloody stool - ANSWER-C. Chemotherapy and
radiation therapy may cause a decreased cell turnover,
thereby leading to oral ulcers (stomatitis), malabsorption,
and diarrhea.
A healthcare professional is caring for four patients with
cancer. Which patient does the professional educate
about brachytherapy?
a. Lung
b. Colon
c. Cervical
d. Brain - ANSWER-C. Radiation sources, such as small
125I-labeled capsules (also called seeds), can also be
temporarily placed into body cavities, a delivery method
termed brachytherapy. Brachytherapy is useful in the
treatment of cervical, prostate, and head and neck
cancers. Brachytherapy is not used in the treatment of the
other cancers.
In teaching a women's community group, which risk factor
does the healthcare professional teach is related to high
morbidity of cancer of the colon, uterus, and kidney?
a. Women older than 45 years of age
b. Women who have never had children
c. Women who have a high body mass index
,3|Page
d. Woman who have smoked for more than 10 years -
ANSWER-C. A recent hypothesis states that the observed
increased incidence of such cancers as breast,
endometrium, colon, liver, kidney, and adenomas of the
esophagus may be associated with obesity. No current
research supports the remaining options.
Which substance has been shown to increase the risk of
cancer when used in combination with tobacco smoking?
a. Alcohol
b. Steroids
c. Antihistamines
d. Antidepressants - ANSWER-A. Alcohol interacts with
smoke, increasing the risk of malignant tumors, possibly
by acting as a solvent for the carcinogenic chemicals in
smoke products. No current research supports steroids,
antihistamines, or antidepressants as having an increased
effect on the incidence of cancer when used in
combination with tobacco smoking
Research has shown a link between cancer and which
sexually transmitted disease?
a. Syphilis
b. Gonorrhea
c. Human papillomavirus
, 4|Page
d. Pelvic inflammatory disease - ANSWER-C. Human
papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually
transmitted virus in the United States. High-risk, or
oncogenic, HPVs can cause cancer. A persistence of
infection with high-risk HPV is a prerequisite for the
development of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN)
lesions and invasive cervical cancers. No research
supports such a link between syphilis, gonorrhea, or pelvic
Research has supported that alcohol consumption has a
convincing impact on increasing the risk of which cancer?
a. Lung
b. Breast
c. Pharynx
d. Pancreas - ANSWER-C. Research had shown that
alcohol consumption has a convincing positive impact on
the risk of developing pharynx cancer. No research
supports such a connection with the remaining options.
A healthcare professional advises patients to exercise
because it has a probable impact on reducing which
cancer?
a. Liver
b. Endometrial
c. Stomach
