Chapter 19: Concepts of Cancer Development

MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. The nurse learning about cellular regulation understands that which process occurs during the
S phase of the cell cycle?
a.
Actual division (mitosis)
b.
Doubling of DNA
c.
Growing extra membrane
d.
No reproductive activity
ANS: B
During the S phase, the cell must double its DNA content through DNA synthesis. Actual
division, or mitosis, occurs during the M phase. Growing extra membrane occurs in the G1
phase. During the G0 phase, the cell is working but is not involved in any reproductive
activity.

2. A nurse asks the staff development nurse what “apoptosis” means. What response best?
a.
Growth by cells enlarging
b.
Having the normal number of chromosomes
c.
Inhibition of cell growth
d.
Programmed cell death GRADESLAB.COM
ANS: D
Apoptosis is programmed cell death. With this characteristic, organs and tissues function
with cells that are at their peak of performance. Growth by cells enlarging is hyperplasia.
Having the normal number of chromosomes is euploidy. Inhibition of cell growth is contact
inhibition.

3. A nurse is learning the difference between normal cells and benign tumor cells. What
information does this include?
a.
Benign tumors grow through invasion of other tissue.
b.
Benign tumors have lost their cellular regulation from contact inhibition.
c.
Growing in the wrong place or time is typical of benign tumors.
d.
The loss of characteristics of the parent cells is called anaplasia.
ANS: C
Benign tumors are basically normal cells growing in the wrong place or at the wrong time.
Benign cells grow through hyperplasia, not invasion. Benign tumor cells retain contact
inhibition. Anaplasia is a characteristic of cancer cells.
