,The nurse wants to evaluate a nursing student's
understanding of chemotherapy. The nurse asks, "Which
factor would be a major obstacle to successful
chemotherapy?" What is the student's best response?
a."The patient's reluctance about the doses administered."
b."The patient's degree of nausea."
c."The toxicity of anticancer drugs to normal tissues."
d."The difficulty attaining and maintaining venous access. -
ANS-c."The toxicity of anticancer drugs to normal tissues."
A nurse is teaching a group of nursing students about cancer
treatment. Which statement by a student indicates an
understanding of the characteristics of cancer cells?
a."Cancer cells are characterized by unrestrained growth
and division."
b."Division of cancer cells is characteristically rapid."
c."Malignant cells of solid tumors do not invade other
tissues."
d."Telomerase is an enzyme produced by cancer cells that
promotes metastases." - ANS-a."Cancer cells are
characterized by unrestrained growth and division."
,A patient is receiving chemotherapy. Seven days after a
dose, the patient's neutrophil count is 1000 cells/mm3. The
nurse will tell this patient:
a.that hospitalization is necessary to provide infection
prophylaxis.
b.that the provider will probably repeat the lab work in 3 to 5
days.
c.to ask the provider about skipping the next dose of
chemotherapy.
d.to report any symptoms such as pus, abscesses, or cough.
- ANS-b.that the provider will probably repeat the lab work in
3 to 5 days.
A patient with cancer has a tumor composed mostly of G0
cells. When teaching this patient about the disease, the
nurse will make which statement?
a."Cells in this patient's type of tumor will proliferate rapidly."
b."Chemotherapeutic agents that are not toxic to other
tissues may be used."
c."This type of tumor is especially sensitive to
chemotherapy."
d."This tumor will be managed primarily with surgery." - ANS-
d."This tumor will be managed primarily with surgery."
, A nurse is teaching a group of nursing students about how
cytotoxic anticancer drugs affect normal cells. Which
statement by a student indicates an understanding of this
teaching?
a."Cytotoxic drugs lack tissue specificity."
b."Cytotoxic drugs have a high degree of selective toxicity."
c."Differences between cancer cells and normal cells are
qualitative."
d."Neoplastic cells and normal tissue cells are very
different." - ANS-a."Cytotoxic drugs lack tissue specificity."
A nurse explains to a patient with cancer why it is difficult to
achieve 100% cell kill to cure cancer with chemotherapy.
Which statement by the patient indicates a need for further
teaching?
a."It is necessary to continue giving the same dose of
chemotherapeutic agents throughout therapy, even if toxicity
occurs."
b."Symptoms of cancer often disappear before all malignant
cells are eradicated."
c."The immune system attacks chemotherapeutic agents
and renders them impotent."
