b) Benign prostatic hyperplasia
c) Secondary cancer
d) Infection Ans✓✓✓ b) benign prostatic hyperplasia
- Correct Answer: B. Benign prostatic hyperplasia
Option B: Hodgkin's disease (Hodgkin's lymphoma) is a type of cancer
that affects the lymphatic system (bone marrow, spleen, liver, and lymph
node tissue. Symptoms include painless swelling of a lymph node,
recurrent fever, night sweats, pruritus, and unexplained weight loss.

weakened immune system resulting in various infections, It can also
result in fertility problems related to chemotherapy, and a probability of
secondary cancers in the future.
The nurse is reviewing the chart of a client who is newly diagnosed with
chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Which of the following laboratory values
is expected to be seen?
a) Elevates aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase
levels
,b) Thrombocytopenia and increased lymphocytes
c) Elevated sedimentation rate
d) Uncontrolled proliferation of granulocytes Ans✓✓✓ b)
Thrombocytopenia and increased lymphocytes
- Correct Answer: B. Thrombocytopenia and increased lymphocytes
Option B: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia shows a proliferation of small
abnormal mature B lymphocytes and decreased antibody response.
Thrombocytopenia also is often present.
Option A: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia often does not cause abnormal
liver function tests.
Option C: An elevated ESR result is often seen with multiple myeloma
and Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (a type of non-Hodgkin's
lymphoma that is characterized by excessive production of white blood
cells).
Option D: Uncontrolled proliferation of granulocytes occurs in
myelogenous leukemia.
Maria was recently diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma. Upon the
early diagnosis, the nurse will expect which of the following areas is
often involved?
a) Chest
b) Neck
c) Groin
d) Pelvis Ans✓✓✓ b) Neck
- Correct Answer: B. Neck
,Option B: A common early sign of Hodgkin lymphoma is swelling in
one or more lymph nodes, which is often seen in the neck.
Options A, C, and D: Lymph nodes can also be found in the chest, groin,
and pelvis but aren't yet involved in the earliest stage of the disease.
According to a standard staging classification of Hodgkin's disease,
which of the following criteria reflects stage III?
a) Involvement of lymph node regions or structures on both sides of the
diaphragm
b) Involvement of two or more lymph node regions or structures
c) Involvement of single node region or structure
d) Involvement of extralymphatic organs of tissues Ans✓✓✓ a)
Involvement of lymph node regions or structures on both sides of the
diaphragm
-
Correct Answer: A. Involvement of lymph node regions or structures on
both sides of the diaphragm
Option A: Hodgkin lymphoma is classified into stages to determine the
state of the disease and where it has already spread. Stage III involves
nodes on both sides of the diaphragm.
Option B: Stage II involves two or more lymph node regions.
Option C: Stage I only involves one lymph node region.
Option D: Stage IV involves extra lymphatic organs or tissues.
, Angela, a clinical instructor is conducting a lecture about chemotherapy.
Which of the following statements is correct about the rate of cell
growth in relation to chemotherapy?
a) Faster growing cells are more susceptible to chemotherapy
b) Faster growing cells are less susceptible to chemotherapy
c) Slower growing cells are more susceptible to chemotherapy
d) Non-dividing are
a) Faster growing cells are more susceptible to chemotherapy
b) Faster growing cells are less susceptible to chemotherapy
c) Slower growing cells are more susceptible to chemotherapy
d) Non-dividing cells are more susceptible to chemotherapy Ans✓✓✓
b) Faster growing cells are less susceptible to chemotherapy
-
Correct Answer: B. Faster growing cells are less susceptible to
chemotherapy
Option B: The faster the cell grows, the more susceptible it is to
chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
Options A, C, and D: Slow-growing and non-dividing cells are less
susceptible to chemotherapy. Repeated cycles of chemotherapy are used
to destroy nondividing cells as they begin active cell division.
A 40-year-old male diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia finished
