UPDATE
While being prepared for a biopsy of a lump in the right breast,
the patient asks the nurse about the difference between a
benign tumor and a malignant tumor. Which answer by the
nurse is correct?
a.
,Benign tumors do not cause damage to other tissues.
b.
Benign tumors are likely to recur in the same location.
c.
Malignant tumors may spread to other tissues or organs.
d.
Malignant cells reproduce more rapidly than normal cells. -
ANSWER-ANS: C
Rationale: The major difference between benign and malignant
tumors is that malignant tumors invade adjacent tissues and
spread to distant tissues and benign tumors never metastasize.
The other statements are inaccurate. Both types of tumors may
cause damage to adjacent tissues. Malignant cells do not
reproduce more rapidly than normal cells. Benign tumors do
not usually recur.
. A patient is receiving intravesical bladder chemotherapy. The
nurse will monitor for
a.
nausea.
b.
alopecia.
,c.
mucositis.
d.
hematuria. - ANSWER-ANS: D
Rationale: The adverse effects of intravesical chemotherapy are
confined to the bladder. The other adverse effects are
associated with systemic chemotherapy.
The nurse in the outpatient clinic is caring for a 50-year-old who
smokes heavily. To reduce the patients risk of dying from lung
cancer, which action will be best for the nurse to take?
a.
Educate the patient about the seven warning signs of cancer.
b.
Plan to monitor the patients carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)
level.
c.
Discuss the risks associated with cigarettes during every patient
encounter.
d.
Teach the patient about the use of annual chest x-rays for lung
cancer screening. - ANSWER-ANS: C
, Rationale: Education about the risks associated with cigarette
smoking is recommended at every patient encounter, since
cigarette smoking is associated with multiple health problems.
A tumor must be at least 0.5 cm large before it is detectable by
current screening methods and may already have metastasized
by that time. Oncofetal antigens such as CEA may be used to
monitor therapy or detect tumor reoccurrence, but are not
helpful in screening for cancer. The seven warning signs of
cancer are actually associated with fairly advanced disease.
After the nurse has finished teaching a patient who is
scheduled to receive external beam radiation for abdominal
cancer about appropriate diet, which dietary selection by the

a.
Fresh fruit salad
b.
Roasted chicken
c.
Whole wheat toast
d.
Cream of potato soup - ANSWER-ANS: B
