Nursing Oncology Exam 1 Questions With
Correct Answers
Oncology |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Branch |of |medicine |dealing |with |tumors.
Oncology |Nursing |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Nurses |that |care |for |pts |with |CA.
Neoplasm |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Neo |= |New |, |Plasma |= |New |tissue |growth |
Cells |that |produce |abnormal |. |
Neoplasm |are |tumors |but |all |neoplasm |are |no |CA.
Cancer |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-A |group |of |cells |that |grow |out |of |control, |taking |over |the |
function |of |the |affected |organ. |
Cancer |is |not |1 |disease |but |many |with |different |causes, |manifestations, |treatments |and |
prognosis. |
Poorly |constructed, |loosely |formed, |and |disorganized.
"confused |cell"
An |organ |with |a |cancerous |tumor |eventually |ceases |function.
Benign |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-A |cluster |of |cells |that |is |not |normal |to |the |body |but |is |
noncancerous.
Benign |tumors |grow |more |slowly |than |malignant |and |have |cells |the |same |original |tissue. |
An |organ |with |a |benign |tumor |usually |continuous |to |function |normally. |
Slow |Growth, |stays |localized, |encapsulated, |differentiated..
, Malignant |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Tumor |resist |treatment |and |tends |to |worsen |and |threaten |
life. |
Causes |some |of |the |same |problems |as |benign, |but |are |more |threatening.
They |can |invade |nearby |issues |or |colonized |In |other |parts |of |the |body.
Different |types |of |malignancies. |
Fast |growing |, |
Some |of |the |same |problems |are |benign
dedifferentiated |9stop |looking |like |cells |that |they |took |over. |
Invades |neighboring |tissue.
Reoccurrence |possible
Fatal |without |treatment
Cancers |cells |growth |and |reproduction |involve |a |2 |step |process. |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-1. |
Initiation
Causes |an |alteration |in |genetic |structure |of |the |cell |(DNA).
Cell |alteration |is |associated |with |exposure |to |a |carcinogen. |The |cellular |change |primes |the |cell
|to |become |cancerous. |
2. |Promotion
The |second |step |in |cancer |cell |growth.
It |occurs |after |repeated |exposure |to |carcinogens |causing |cells |to |mutate. |During |this |step |a |
tumor |forms |from |mutated |cell |production. |
A |healthy |immune |system |can |destroy |cancer |cells |before |they |replicate |and |become |a |tumor.
Any |substance |that |weakens |or |alters |the |immune |system |puts |the |individual |at |risk |for |cell |
mutation.
Caner |is |a |symptom |of |a |weakened |immune |system.
