CSO Exam || QUESTIONS WITH A+ GRADED
SOLUTIONS!!
Ageusia correct answers Loss or absence of the sense of taste
Allogenic marrow transplantation correct answers Transfer of marrow from donor to another
person who is not genetically identical
Antineoplastic agents correct answers Chemical agents (cytotoxics, immuniologic
preparations, hormones) or meds used to prevent the development, maturation or spread of
neoplastic cells
antioxidants correct answers molecules (ie. vitamins) that blcok action of activated oxygen
molecules (free radicals) that can demage cells
antologous marrow transplantation correct answers transfer of marrow from the pt's own
tissue (from hematopietic stem cells)
cancer cachexia correct answers wt loss, anorexia, wasting, immunosuppression, altered
BMR, abnormalitis in fluid & energy metabolism, lessening of the body's fat & muscle stores
that accompanies advanced CA even with adequate nutrition.
carcinogen correct answers an agent (physical, chemical, or viral) that induces CA
carcinogenesis correct answers the origin or development of CA, a multistage, biological
process that proceeds on a continuum but is often described in stages of initiation, promotion
and progression
cytokines correct answers protein mediators produced by inflammatory cells in response to
exogenous stimuli, produce metabolic changes & wating
dysgeusia correct answers impaired taste
graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) correct answers a dz caused by the immune response of
histoincompatible, immunocompetent donor cells against the tissues of an
immunoincompetent host; an immuniologic reaction of allogeneic donor cells (graft) reacting
against the pt (host) tissues
evidenced by icterus & abnormal liver functions, severe /secretory diarrhea - may need total
bowel rest --> isomotic, low residue, lactose-free diet --> solids with low lactose, fiber, fat &
acideity, gastric irritants --> regular diet
- usually 3 onths after transplant (but may be 7-10 days post)
hypogeusia correct answers decreased taste acuity
initiation correct answers the initial stage of tumorigenesis, involving transformation of
cellular DNA
malignant neoplasm correct answers mass of CA cells that invades surrounding tissues or
spreads to distant areas of body
, metastasis correct answers growth of malignant tissue that spreads to surrounding tissue or
organs
myelosuppression correct answers suppression of bone marrow cell production
neutropenia correct answers a reduction of WBC (neutrophils) that can be caused by chemo
or XRT, results in increased susceptibility to life-threatening infections
pancytopenia correct answers a reduction in all cellular elements of the blood
phytochemicals correct answers nonutritive compounds in plants though to influence the
process of tumorigenesis
progression correct answers the phase in which tumor cells aggregate, grow autonomously
and form benign tumors that eventually lead to malignant phenotype with the capacity for
tissue invasion & mets
Promotion correct answers The stage of tumorigenesis in which initiated cells are activated
by a promoting agent to multiply and form a discrete tumor
radiation-induced enteritis correct answers a condition of inflammation that can occur after
XRT to the GI tract & that leads to diarrhea & malabsorption
staging correct answers a classification system known as TNM that is used to identify the
"extent" of the tumor: its size, the degree of growth & spread; T - size of tumor, N- degree of
spread to lymph nodes; M- presence of mets
Tumor necrosis factor correct answers (cachectin, interluckin-1, interleukin-6, interferon-y); a
hormone-like protein that releases fat from fat stores, reduces the concentration of enzymes
required for the production and storage of fat & induces a stage of anorexia
veno-occlusive disease (VOD) correct answers - transplant related complication
- a symptomatic occlusion of the small hepatic venules caused by hepatotoxins & XRT; may
resolve after removal of the offending agent or may progress to portal HTN & liver failure
- 1-3 wks post transplant
-hepatomegaly, ascites, jaundice, hepatic failure, encephalopathy & multi-organ failure
Xerostomia correct answers mouth dryness
Halal diet correct answers Muslim. Designating any object or an action which is permissible
to use or engage in, according to Islamic law.
No Rare meat, ETOH, or any intoxicant, Pork and its by-products such as bacon and lard
Kosher diet correct answers Jewish dietary laws. There are three categories of Kosher food -
Meat, Dairy and Parve (or Pareve).
Rules:
No Mixing meat with milk, Pork, Shellfish, Bloody meat
