Test Bank NSG 210 Caring for Clients With Cancer Questions
&Answers and Rationale
1. Which of the following advice does the nurse offer clients who are
undergoing unsealed radiation therapy to reduce exposure?
A) Avoid drinking plenty of fluids.
B) Avoid eating for 3 hours after therapy.
C) Avoid applying skin moisturizers.
D) Avoid kissing and sexual contact.
Ans: D
Feedback:
Clients who are undergoing unsealed radiation therapy are advised to avoid
kissing and sexual contact due to the spread of radioactivity. Clients are
encouraged to drink plenty of fluids to help flush radioactive substances.
Client may be asked to apply mild moisturizers and are not asked not to eat
after the therapy.
2. The nurse working on a bone marrow unit knows that it is a priority
to monitor which ofthe following in a client who has just undergone a stem
cell transplant?
A) Monitor the client's toilet patterns.
B) Monitor the client closely to prevent infection.
C) Monitor the client's physical condition.
D) Monitor the client's heart rate.
Ans: B
Feedback:
Until transplanted stem cells begin to produce blood cells, these clients have
no physiologic means to fight infection, which makes them very prone to
infection. They are at high risk for dying from sepsis and bleeding before
engraftment. Therefore, a nurse must closely monitor clients and take
measures to prevent infection. Monitoring client's toilet patterns, physical
condition, and heart rate does not prevent the possibility of the client getting
an infection.
3. You are an oncology nurse caring for a client who is taking
antineoplastic agents. What adverse symptoms must you monitor for in
this client?
A) Symptoms of gout
B) Symptoms of hypertension

,C) Symptoms of diarrhea
D) Symptoms of anemia
Ans: A
Feedback:
The nurse monitors the client being administered an antineoplastic agent for
symptoms of gout because they increase uric acid levels, joint pain, and
edema. Administering antineoplastic agents does not cause hypertension,
diarrhea, and anemia.
4. You are providing client teaching for a client undergoing
chemotherapy. What dietary modifications should you advise?
A) Eat wholesome meals.

, B) Avoid spicy and fatty foods.
C) Avoid intake of fluids.
D) Eat warm or hot foods.
Ans: B
Feedback:
The nurse advises a client undergoing chemotherapy to avoid hot and very
cold liquids and spicy and fatty foods. The nurse also encourages the client
to have small meals and appropriate fluid intake.
5. Cancer has many characteristics. What is one of the most
discouraging characteristics ofcancer?
A) Large size
B) Carcinogenesis
C) Metastasis
D) Slow growth
Ans: C
Feedback:
Metastasis is one of cancer's most discouraging characteristics because even
one malignant cell can give rise to a metastatic lesion in a distant part of the
body. Not all cancerous tumors are large in size. Carcinogenesis is the
process of malignant transformation, and it is not a characteristic of cancer.
Cancer grows rapidly, not slowly.
6. You are a public health nurse giving a talk on the warning signals of
cancer to a local community group. Which of the following are the
warning signals of cancer? Select all that apply.
A) Sores that don't heal
B) Unusual bleeding or discharge
C) Yellow discoloration of body area
D) Tenderness or pain
E) Persistent indigestion
Ans: A, B, E
Feedback:
Seven warning signals of cancer should be familiar to all: (1) a change in
bowel habits or bladder function, (2) sores that do not heal, (3) unusual
bleeding or discharge, (4) thickening or lump in breast or other body parts,
(5) persistent indigestion or difficulty swallowing, (6) a change in a wart or
mole, and (7) a persistent nagging cough or hoarseness.
