cutaneous, light brown spots (2 cm in diameter each) over the

complication for the infant?
Impaired brain development
When parents give birth to a child with a defect, they focus on
getting answers to which two priority issues?
The immediate and future care of the affected child, and the
possibility of future children in the family having a similar
defect
Both members of a couple are carriers of an autosomal recessive
trait. What will the nurse teach the couple about the risk of their
child being affected?
"There is a 25% chance the child will be affected with the
disease trait."

A nursing instructor sees the need for further instruction when
one student makes which statement concerning cancer?
Malignant neoplasms tend to grow slowly
A nursing student who describes cell characteristics that include
regulated growth, genetic stability, limited lifespan, and growth
factor dependence is talking about which type of cell?
Normal cells
A nursing student is caring for a client who was recently
diagnosed with breast cancer. The student is explaining what the
doctor meant when the term "sentinel node" was mentioned.
What will the student tell the client?
Sentinel node is used to describe the initial lymph node to which

the nurse what tumor markers are. Which answer would be the
nurse's best response?
Markers are antigens expressed on the surface of tumor cells

an adenoma determines that the client's tumor is considered:

medication to treat his cancer is working. Which model focuses
on tumor growth and is used for studying the effects of
medications on cancer cells?
Gompertzian
The nurse in the oncology unit has just admitted a client with
metastatic cancer. The client asks how cancer moves from one
place to another in the body. What would the nurse answer?
Cancer cells enter the body's lymph system and thereby spread
to other parts of the body
