Pleural Effusion - fluid in pleural space pneumothorax - air in the pleural space Which chemo has a high risk for pulmonary toxicity? - bleomycin (Blenoxane) For which pulmonary toxicity does bleomycin have a high risk? - Pneumonitis Hypocapnia - reduced carbon dioxide in the blood Signs and Symptoms of pleural effusion - tachypnea (fast breathing) decreased breath sounds dullness to percussion Define Lymphedema - obstruction of lymphatic system that caused overload of lymph in the inte...

Cancer cells are characterized by - persistent proliferation, invasive growth, and the ability to form metastases. Cancer can be treated with three basic modalities: - surgery, radiation therapy, and drug therapy Agents used for drug therapy fall into two main groups: - (1) cytotoxic agents and (2) noncytotoxic agents, such as hormones, immunomodulators, and targeted drugs. Surgery and/or irradiation are the treatments of choice for - most solid tumors. Drugs are the treatment of choice fo...

Hematologic cancer (blood cancer) - -cancer that begins in bone marrow or immune system cells. -Ex: leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma Leukemia - cancer starts in blood-forming tissues like bone marrow -causes lots of abnormal blood cells to be produced and enter bloodstream Lymphoma - -cancer that begins in immune system (WBC=lymphocytes) -hodgkin and non-hodgkins -B lymphocytes (B cells) - make antibodies (bacteria and viruses, most common lymphoma -T lymphocytes (T cells) - boost/slo...

A patient demonstrates an adequate understanding of the teaching provided regarding chemotherapy and myelosuppression by stating: "Myelosuppression is: a potential side effect of many cancer treatments." unintentional prior to a bone marrow transplant." when laboratory values show an elevation in the white blood cell count." the overreaction of the body's immune system to a medication." - a potential side effect of many cancer treatments." Answer: Chemotherapy will decrease the res...

name the 4 phases of the cell cycle - G1 Phase S Phase G2 Phase M Phase name the 4 stages of mitosis - Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Which is the longest phase of the cell cycle, lasting about 10 hours - S Phase What is the shortest phase of the cell cycle - M Phase (Mitosis) these cells have receptors that determine if cells of cells they encounter are self or non-self. Their role is to destroy non-self cells - Natural Killer Cells Mitosis phase in which Nuclear envelope has...

3 major phases of cell division: - Interphase Mitotic phase Cytokinesis 3 steps of interphase: - First growth phase (G1) Synthesis phase (S phase) Second growth phase (G2) 4 phases of mitosis: - Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Innate immunity: - Non-specific response, either: 1. Barrier (skin, mucous membranes, flora of skin/gut) 2. Cellular components (phagocytes, natural killer cells, granulocytes, macrophages) Adaptive immunity: - Follows innate immunity if unsuccessful.
