Question 1
Type: MCSA
A common theme among all the antineoplastic agents is:
1. Their side effects.
2. Their ability to kill cancer cells.
3. Their drug interactions.
4. Their mechanism of action.
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: A common theme of all antineoplastic agents is not their side effects, even though some might have
some similar side effects.
Rationale 2: A common theme of all antineoplastic agents is their toxicity—their ability to kill cancer cells.
Rationale 3: A common theme of all antineoplastic agents is not their drug interactions.
Rationale 4: A common theme of all antineoplastic agents is not their mechanism of action.
Global Rationale:
Cognitive Level: Remembering
Client Need: Physiological Integrity
Client Need Sub: Pharmacological and Parenteral Therapies
Nursing/Integrated Concepts: Nursing Process: Assessment
Learning Outcome: 60-1
Question 2
Type: MCSA
Classification of antineoplastics is difficult because:
1. The drugs kill cancer cells by different mechanisms and have characteristics from more than one class.
2. The drugs cannot always kill the cancer cells.
3. The drugs only have characteristics from one class, even though they kill by different mechanisms.

almost every system.
Rationale 2: Antineoplastic drugs produce the most serious adverse effects.
Rationale 3: Antineoplastic drugs produce the most serious adverse effects.
Rationale 4: Antineoplastic drugs produce the most serious adverse effects.
