OCN exam 1
Pegfilgrastim - Neulasta - answer 1 dose each cycle > 24 hours after chemo
Potential cardiovascular toxicities in a client receiving tx for cancer - answer 1-
alteration in the electrical conduction within the heart.
2. cardiomyopathy as the most common chronic cardiac toxicity
Asymptomatic bradycardia is likely to related to which of the following chemo agents -
answer Paclitaxel (Paxen, Taxol)
Factors that are associated with increased risk of cardiotoxicity from chemo include -
answer 1 high-dose cyclophosphamide, RT to the chest, and multiple cardiotoxic
drugs
2. high doses o potentially cardiotoxic chemo agents administered over relatively short
periods of time.
Prevention of doxorubicin related cardiomyopathy includes - answer exercise ad use
of dexrazoxane
When the ejection fraction is less than 45% the nurse should expect - answer
decrease in the dose of cardiotoxic chemo agents
Which statements correctly identify the classification of chemo agents and their potential
effects - answer 1 Antimetabolites have the potential to cause coronary artery
spasm, resulting in cardiac related sudden death
2 Taxanes and some alkylating agents can cause early heart failure and left ventricular
dysfunction
A client admitted with CHF. Records indicate hx of breast cancer treated with chemo
and RT. The most likely late effect of this treatment is - answer cardiomyopathy
caused by anthracycline therapy
major difference between the short acting and intermidiate and long acting
corticosterioids - answer Short acting have greater sodium and water retention
activity.
The major advantage of intermediate-
acting corticosteroids is that they have minimal sodium- retaining activity; long-acting
corticosteroids have no sodium-retaining activity.
Salsalate / salicylates choline magnesium thisalicylate - answer do not have anti
platelet effects
