✔✔What should a nurse watch for if his AML patient is on a more intense treatment
regimen? - ✔✔Toxicity

✔✔What specific diagnostic test is used for leukemia? - ✔✔Bone marrow aspiration
(biopsy)
✔✔Why is a lumbar puncture done for leukemia? - ✔✔Determine CNS involvement - to
check for blast cells
✔✔What patients receive intrathecal chemo and why? - ✔✔All patients
50% relapse without it
✔✔A mother brings her child into the ER and complains that he has been projectile
vomiting every morning for some time and is concerned about him. What is projectile
vomiting the most common sign for? - ✔✔Brain tumor
✔✔Where are the most common brain tumor sites (SATA)
Cerebrum
Cerebellum
, Brainstem
Midbrain - ✔✔Cerebellum
Brainstem
Midbrain
(2/3 of childhood tumors - infratenorial)
✔✔What are the 4 most common brain tumors and info about them? - ✔✔1.Brainstem
glioma - arise from pons or medulla
- 10% of childhood tumors
- slow growing and may involve cranial nerves V-X
2.Infratenorial ependymomas - Arise from lining tissue of 4th ventricle
- comprise 13% of childhood brain tumors together with supra internal ependymomas
3.Cerebellar astrocytomas - most common childhood brain tumor (20%)
- slow growing and grading system I to IV with I and II less malignant than III and IV
4. Medulloblastoma - arise from cerebellum
- Can invade fourth ventricle, subarachnoid space, and CSF pathways
- 18% of brain tumors in children
- fast growing and arise from embryonic cerebellum
✔✔Which of the following options are brain tumors:
medulloblastoma
brain stem glioma
enendymoma
astrocytoma
neuroblastoma - ✔✔medulloblastoma
brain stem glioma
enendymoma
astrocytoma
NOT NEUROBLASTOMA!!! THAT IS ABDOMINAL
