| | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-Screening and early detection activities that seek to identify | | | | | | | | |
precancerous lesions and early-stage cancer in individuals who lack signs and
| | | | | | | | | | |
symptoms of cancer | |
Ex: Mammography, colonoscopy, yearly fecal occult blood sample, digital rectal
| | | | | | | | | |
exam, genetic screening.

What does CINV mean? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Chemotherapy Induced
| | | | | | | |
Nausea/Vomiting
What are some interventions for CINV? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Assess the
| | | | | | | | | |
nutritional and fluid/electrolyte status, quality of life, and psychological status
| | | | | | | | |
,Ensure that antiemetics are given before chemotherapy and continue therapy
| | | | | | | | | |
even when CINV appears controlled (may persist for > 1 week)
| | | | | | | | | |
Teach the patient to take the medications at the first sign of CINV
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Teach relaxation techniques, imagery, acupressure, or acupuncture to help
| | | | | | | | |
decrease stimuli contributing to symptoms
| | | | |
Give small, frequent meals, bland foods, and comfort foods may reduce the
| | | | | | | | | | | |
frequency or severity of symptoms
| | | |
***When should you administer antiemetics for CINV? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-
| | | | | | | | |
Ensure that antiemetics are given before chemotherapy and continue therapy
| | | | | | | | | |
even when CINV appears controlled (may persist for > 1 week)
| | | | | | | | | |
What are the CAUTION warning signs of cancer? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-
| | | | | | | | | |
Changes in bowel or bladder habits
| | | | |
A sore that does not heal
| | | | |
Unusual bleeding or discharge
| | |
Thickening or lump in the breast or elsewhere

| | | | |
Nagging cough or hoarseness
| | |
, ***What type of cells continue to divide throughout the life of a person? -
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Skin |

Intestinal tissues |
Spermatocytes
Blood-forming cells |
***How to explain chemotherapy to a patient? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-systemic
| | | | | | | | | |
therapy with the use of antineoplastic agents; it's cytotoxic therapy in that the
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
agents induce damage and death on cells, including cancer cells and healthy cells
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Basically, they are drugs that kill rapidly dividing cells.
| | | | | | | |
***Know the precautions used for someone with brachytherapy (with a sealed
| | | | | | | | | | |
implant) vs systemic brachytherapy (IV radiocontrast dye)? - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-Sealed implant brachytherapy: placement of radioactive sources
| | | | | | |
within or immediately next to the cancer site in order to provide a highly
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
targeted, intense dose of radiation beyond a dose that is usually provided by
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
External beam radiation.
| |
Precautions: intravenous (IV) administration of a therapeutic radioactive isotope
| | | | | | | | |
targeted to a specific tumor.
| | | |
What are some side effects of external radiation? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-
| | | | | | | | | |
Alopecia, radiodermatitis, ulceration
| | |
