2025 ACTUAL EXAM 60 QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
DETAILED ANSWERS WITH RATIONALES

Neoadjuvant therapy does not increase survival when compared to adjuvant therapy. It

only changes the timing of treatment and can change surgical options if the tumor is

shrunk enough. If this occurs, the patient may only require a lumpectomy plus radiation

therapy instead of needing a mastectomy - Answer✔️✔️-Main benefit of neoadjuvant

chemotherapy (breast cancer patient)

A comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) is a multidisciplinary evaluation to assess

life expectancy and risk of morbidity and mortality in the older patient. This assessment

tool would evaluate and include the following areas: functional status, socioeconomic

issues, psychosocial distress, comorbidities, cognitive function, nutritional status,

polypharmacy, and a medication review (NCCN Older Adult Oncology Guidelines,

version 1.2015). - Answer✔️✔️-Due to Mrs. Turner's age and comorbidities, her

oncologist performs a comprehensive geriatric assessment. You know that this

assessment covers all but which of the following:

65 - Answer✔️✔️-The NCCN Older Adult Oncology Guidelines (version 1.2015) provides

information on what is included in a comprehensive geriatric assessment. Currently,

more than 60% of cancers in the United States occur in people age ______and older

and as the oncology world ages, nearly half (46%) of cancer survivors are 70 years of

age or older

Two of the agents (docetaxel and carboplatin) that Mrs. Turner will receive are

categorized as irritants. Docetaxel can cause a significant reaction if it extravasates. It

can lead to edema, erythema, occasional pain and blister formation (ONS Chemo/Bio

guidelines, 2014). That is the most likely reason that Mrs. Turner was given a port for

her treatments. Some patients will receive their treatments through a peripheral IV

without incident. Just because they are intravenous agents does not mean that a port is

required and needing a port has nothing to do with her being older in age. Since none of

these agents are vesicants, they likely could have been given safely via peripheral route

but having a port placed is OK as well. - Answer✔️✔️-What is your best explanation for

why Mrs. Turner was given a port to receive her chemotherapy?

Irrirtants - Answer✔️✔️-_____________can cause inflammation, pain, and burning but

rarely cause tissue necrosis comparable to a vesicant (unless a large amount or a very

high concentration of the irritant is extravasated).

Vesicants - Answer✔️✔️-_____________can cause blistering and significant pain and

tissue damage and destruction, leading to tissue death.

Non-DNA-binding solutions remain in the local area of the extravasation, which

improves the possibility of drug deactivation.

DNA-binding agents attach to DNA nucleic acids, causing the antagonist to be ingested

cellularly, leading to progressive tissue destruction - Answer✔️✔️-A further classification

of an antineoplastic agent's potential to cause damage is whether its mechanism of

action includes DNA binding.
