, 1. Differentiate Lethal Mutation and Non lethal mutation
Lethal mutations: A lethal mutation is a type of mutation that causes the premature death of an
organism. Lethal mutations are usually recessive, so both copies of a gene must be lost for premature
death to occur. Heterozygotes, which have one lethal allele and one wild type allele, are typically
viable 123.
Non-lethal mutations: A non-lethal mutation is a type of mutation that does not cause the premature
death of an organism. Non-lethal mutations can result in changes in the visible form of the organism,
such as changes in size, shape, color, or number. Non-lethal mutations can also result in changes in the
biochemical pathways of the organism 1
2. Describe metaplasia The permanent changing of one type of adult tissue into another type of adult tissue.
Metaplasia present with or without cancer
3. A nurse is caring for a child who has myelosuppression after receiving chemotherapy. The
nurse should monitor the child for which of the following adverse effects Bleeding from the
gums
4. CAUTION, elaborate
C – change in bowel & bladder habit
A – A sore that does not heel
U – Unusual bleeding on discharge
T- Thickening of lump in breast or somewhere
I.Indignation or difficulty in swallowing
O- Obvious change in mole
N- Nagging cough
5. A nurse is providing discharge teaching for the parent of a child with brain tumor who is
postoperative tumor resection. The child is to begin outpatient radiation therapy the next
day. Which of the following instructions about maintaining skin integrity should the nurse
