Signs/symptoms of cancer - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Unexplained weight loss, fever,
fatigue, pain, skin changes, Obstruction, Hemorrhage, Anemia, Fracture, Infection, Cachexia.
Screenings for men and women and when should be done - CORRECT
ANSWER✅✅✅Breast 20+, Cervix 21-65, Colorectal men & women 50+, Endometrial
women at menopause, Lung if smoker 55-74, Prostate 50+, Cancer related check up 20+.
Dehydration Signs & Symptoms and Interventions - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅cool dry
skin, poor skin turgor, weak thready pulse. IV fluids or fluid orally.
Osmosis - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Movement of pure solvent (liquid) across membrane,
moves from area of less solute concentration to area of greater concentration until the solutions
in the compartments are of equal concentration. Takes place via a semipermeable membrane.
Diffusion - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Movement of molecules from an area of higher
concentration to an area of lower concentration. Passive transport is substances move back and
forth across the membrane until evenly distributed throughout the available space
Filtration - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅A process that separates materials based on the size
of their particles.
Active Transport - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Movement of ions or molecules across a cell
membrane into a region of higher concentration, assisted by enzymes and requiring energy.
Hypokalemia Signs and Symptoms - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅muscle weakness, fatigue,
nausea and vomiting, intestinal distention decreased bowel sounds
decreased, deep tendon reflexes, ventricular dysrhythmias, paresthesias weak, irregular pulse,
low potassium flat t waves, high heart rate low blood pressure decreased GI motility.
, Fluid Overload Signs and Symptoms - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Shortness of breath,
cough, elevated b/p, puffiness around the eyes, edema in dependent areas; distended veins, moist
breath sounds, crackle lungs, increased urine output.
Hypocalcemia Signs and Symptoms - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Diarrhea, Numbness and
tingling of extremities, Muscle cramps ,Tetany, Convulsions,Laryngeal spasms, Cardiac
irritability,Positive Trousseau's and Chvostek's signs,· Low calcium, low BP, abnormal HR,
hyperactivity, numbness. Shift of calcium in the bones.
Hypernatremia - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Causes an osmotic shift of fluid from the cells
to the interstitial spaces, which causes a cellular dehydration and interruption of normal cell
processes.
Electrolyte - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅sodium, potassium, chloride.
Fluid Balance Interventions - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Maintaining equal input and
output. Replace water loss with fluids containing sodium.
Hypercalcemia - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Muscle weakness, lack of coordination,
abdominal pain, confusion, absent tendon reflexes, shallow respirations, emergency, elevated
b/p, thirst, polyuria, hypo-activity.
Interstitial fluid - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Fluid in the spaces between cells.
Extracellular.
Intracellular and extracellular - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Fluid within the cell. Fluid
outside of the cell. Extracellular is Intravascular, Interstitial and Transcellular.
Cancer - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅A disease in which some body cells grow and divide
uncontrollably, damaging the parts of the body around them.· External radiation
therapy/teachings: help with coping, skin care, wash area once daily with mild soap, limit sun
exposure, do not use lotion, salve or alcohol on the area, wear loose clothing over the area, do
not shave the area.
