,Quiz: Which offers the best prognosis for the cure of cancer?
a. Surgery
b. Radiation
c. Early detection
d. Chemotherapeutic agents
Ans: c. Early detection
Early detection of cancer, while it remains localized, is associated with the
best prognosis for a cure. The majority of patients with solid tumors are
treated surgically, which can be curative in some localized cancers. Ionizing
radiation is used for two principal reasons: to kill tumor cells that are not
resectable because they are located in a vital or inaccessible area, and to
kill tumor cells that may have escaped the surgeon's knife and remain
undetected in the local area. Chemotherapeutic agents are not selective for
tumor cells, and a certain amount of normal cell death also occurs.

Quiz: Atrial fibrillation is best described as when
Examstudy - Stuvia US
, a. The P wave precedes, follows, or is buried in the QRS complex
b. Disorganized and irregular atrial waves are accompanied by an
irregular ventricular rate
c. An atrial rate of 240 to 350 beats/min in a sawtooth pattern of atrial
depolarization is seen
d. P waves occurs earlier than normal, preceded by a P wave with a
normal QRS configuration
Ans: b. Disorganized and irregular atrial waves are accompanied by an
irregular ventricular rate
- Atrial fibrillation is described as disorganized and irregular atrial waves
accompanied by an irregular ventricular rate.
- Escape rhythms can present with a P wave that precedes, follows, or is
buried in the QRS complex.
- Atrial flutter is typically manifested by a rapid atrial rate of 240 to 350
beats/min and a characteristic saw-tooth pattern of atrial depolarizations.
- Premature atrial complexes (PAC) are characterized by P waves that occur
earlier than normal, preceded by a P wave with a normal QRS configuration.
