Introduction
The Sentinel U APS Oncology Week 6 case study featuring George Adamos focuses
on clinical reasoning and patient-centered care for an oncology patient experiencing
acute kidney injury (AKI) and chemotherapy-induced diarrhea. These complications
can lead to fluid and electrolyte disturbances, medication toxicity, hemodynamic
instability, and interruptions in cancer treatment. Nurses and advanced practice
students must recognize deterioration early, interpret assessment findings, prioritize
interventions, collaborate with the interprofessional team, and evaluate treatment
effectiveness.
This practice bank is designed for students reviewing oncology assessment, renal
function, gastrointestinal toxicity, nursing diagnoses, individualized plans of care,
patient education, and EMPOWER-style simulation debriefing. The questions use
challenging clinical scenarios to strengthen application and analysis rather than simple
recall. Each item includes four options, one best answer, and a rationale explaining
the clinical reasoning and why alternative choices are less appropriate.
Use these questions alongside your course materials, current oncology protocols, and
institutional guidance. They are original study questions, not an official examination
,2
or verified answer key. They cannot guarantee a particular grade, but they can help
you identify knowledge gaps and practice safer clinical decision-making.
Core domains tested
1.
Comprehensive oncology assessment — symptom history, vital signs,
hydration, medication review, and identification of clinical deterioration.
2.
3.
Acute kidney injury — recognition, staging principles, contributing factors,
and monitoring of renal function.
4.
5.
Chemotherapy-induced diarrhea — severity assessment, differential diagnosis,
dehydration risk, and complications.
6.
7.
Fluid and electrolyte management — fluid balance, electrolyte abnormalities,
urine output, and hemodynamic monitoring.
8.
9.
Laboratory and diagnostic interpretation — creatinine trends, blood urea
nitrogen, electrolytes, complete blood count, and relevant investigations.
10.
11.
Medication safety — nephrotoxic exposures, antidiarrheal therapy, dose
adjustment, and oncology-specific precautions.
12.
13.
Nursing diagnoses and prioritization — actual and potential problems,
measurable outcomes, and evidence-based interventions.
14.
15.
, 3
Interprofessional collaboration — escalation, oncology consultation, renal
consultation, and coordinated management.
16.
17.
Patient education and discharge planning — hydration guidance, symptom
reporting, medication instructions, and follow-up.
18.
19.
EMPOWER-style debrief and clinical judgment — reflection, prioritization,
communication, evaluation, and improvement of clinical performance.
20.
QUESTIONS 1–100
Domain 1: Comprehensive Oncology Assessment
Q1: George Adamos, a patient receiving chemotherapy, reports frequent watery stools,
dizziness on standing, and markedly reduced urine output. His heart rate is 118/min
and blood pressure is 88/54 mmHg. What is the nurse's priority action?
A) Administer an oral antidiarrheal and reassess in four hours B) Initiate urgent
clinical escalation and assess circulation while preparing for prescribed emergency
fluid resuscitation C) Encourage unrestricted oral fluids and continue the routine
assessment D) Document the findings and wait for the next scheduled oncology
review
Rationale: B is correct because hypotension, tachycardia, dizziness, and oliguria
suggest significant volume depletion with possible hemodynamic instability and AKI.
Urgent escalation, assessment of airway and circulation, monitoring, and prescribed
resuscitation take priority. A is inadequate because symptom suppression does not
correct shock or dehydration. C delays treatment in an unstable patient and oral intake
may be insufficient or unsafe. D delays necessary intervention.
Q2: During assessment, George reports that his diarrhea increased from two stools
daily to nine watery stools daily over 24 hours. Which additional finding most
strongly suggests clinically significant dehydration?
A) Mild abdominal rumbling after meals B) Reduced appetite without other
symptoms C) Orthostatic dizziness accompanied by dry mucous membranes and
declining urine output D) Temporary dislike of hospital food
Rationale: C is correct because orthostatic symptoms, dry mucous membranes, and
reduced urine output collectively support volume depletion. A and B can occur during
