adjuvant therapy. It only changes the
timing of treatment and can change
surgical options if the tumor is shrunk
enough. If this occurs, the patient
may only require a lumpectomy plus

a mastectomy
,A comprehensive geriatric Due to Mrs. Turner's age and comorbidities, her
assessment (CGA) is a oncologist performs a comprehensive geriatric
multidisciplinary evaluation to assess assessment. You know that this assessment covers
life expectancy and risk of morbidity all but which of the following:
and mortality in the older patient.
This assessment tool would evaluate
and include the following areas:
functional status, socioeconomic
issues, psychosocial distress,
comorbidities, cognitive function,
nutritional status, polypharmacy, and
a medication review (NCCN Older
Adult Oncology Guidelines, version

receive are categorized as irritants.
Docetaxel can cause a significant
reaction if it extravasates. It can lead
to edema, erythema, occasional pain
and blister formation (ONS
Chemo/Bio guidelines, 2014). That is
the most likely reason that Mrs.
Turner was given a port for her
treatments. Some patients will
receive their treatments through a
peripheral IV without incident. Just
because they are intravenous agents
does not mean that a port is required
and needing a port has nothing to
do with her being older in age. Since
none of these agents are vesicants,
they likely could have been given
safely via peripheral route but having
a port placed is OK as well.
Irrirtants _____________can cause inflammation, pain, and burning
but rarely cause tissue necrosis comparable to a
vesicant (unless a large amount or a very high
concentration of the irritant is extravasated).
Vesicants _____________can cause blistering and significant pain
and tissue damage and destruction, leading to
tissue death.
