QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
What is cancer - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅-it is a group of distinct diseases with different
causes, manifestations, treatments, and prognoses (pellico p149)
-A disease that alters cells, causing them to grow in an abnormal, uncontrolled, or invasive
manner (Medcom)
How is cancer named - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅for the organs or tissue where the cancer
forms
How is cancer staged using TNM - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅T=the extent of the primary
tumor
N=lymph node involvement
M=extent of metastasis (Pellico 156)
TNM-T staging - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅Tx primary tumor cannot be assessed
T0 no evidence of primary tumor
Tis carcinoma in situ (in the natural or original position or place)
T1, T2, T3, T4 increasing size or local extent of the primary tumor (Pellico 156)
TNM-N staging - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅Nx regional lymph nodes cannot be assessed
N0 no regional lymph node metastasis
N1 N2 N3 increasing involvement of regional lymph nodes (Pellico 156)
TNM-M staging - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅Mx distant metastasis cannot be assessed
M0 no distant metastasis
M distant metastasis (Pellico 156)
What is cancer staging - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅determines the size of the tumor,
location, and the extent of disease (pellico p156)
, What is cancer grading - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅the classification of the tumor cells.
seeks to define the type of tissue from which the tumor originated and the degree to which the
tumor cells are like original cells (pellico 156)
Carcinomas-skin and glands
Sarcomas-bone and tissue
Lymphomas-lymph
What are the differences between benign and malignant growths - CORRECT
ANSWERS✅✅Benign-limited growth potential, localized to an area, encapsulated, well
differentiated cell structures, and rarely reoccur
Malignant- grow slow or rapidly, spread very easily, rarely encapsulated, poorly defined
borders and cell structure, and may reoccur (Softchalk)
The most common sites for metastasis are - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅colon, adrenal
glands of the kidneys, liver, lung, brain, bones, and CNS (powerpoint and Pellico p152)
SE of cancer tx's and what causes them (Understand the physiological process involved) -
CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅SE of surgery- pain, infection,impaired wound healing,anxiety
SE of radiation- fatigue, skin irritation/breakdown,mucosal irritation, nausea/vomiting, bone
marrow suppression ,sexual dysfunction
SE of chemo- fatigue, nausea/vomiting, bone marrow suppression, hair loss, mucous
membrane irritation/breakdown, sexual and reproductive dysfunction
SE of biological therapy- flu like symptoms , hypotension, emotional lability , rash, anorexia
SE of bone marrow transplant- fatigue, infection, bleeding, anemia, nausea/ vomiting, hair
loss, graft versus host disease
Nursing interventions for CA SE - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅
Teaching priorities pertaining to the SE - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅
What role do biopsies play in diagnosing and tx CA - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅Biopsies
must be performed to obtain a tissue sample for analysis of cells suspected to be malignant.
