Signs and symptoms of oral cancer - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Lesions on the tongue or mucosa, sores or
discoloration of the lips or mouth that don't heal
treatment of oral cancer - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔radiation, chemotherapy, surgery that may require the
creation of a tracheostomy
Nursing care of a patient with oral cancer - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Involves monitoring respiratory status,
nutritional support, and comfort measures
Esophageal cancer/ gastric cancer risk factors - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Smoking, excessive alcohol use
cause of esophageal cancer - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Barrett esophagus
Barrett esophagus - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Precancerous condition due to longstanding GERD, the

breathing) and a resulting decrease in CO2.
metabolic acidosis - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔decreased pH in blood and body tissues as a result of an
upset in metabolism
metabolic alkalosis - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔elevation of HCO3- usually caused by an excessive loss of
metabolic acids
