Which |offers |the |best |prognosis |for |the |cure |of |cancer?
a. |Surgery
b. |Radiation
c. |Early |detection
d. |Chemotherapeutic |agents |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-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.

Atrial |fibrillation |is |best |described |as |when
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

irregular |ventricular |rate

irregular |ventricular |rate. |
- |Escape |rhythms |can |present |with |a |P |wave |that |precedes, |follows, |or |is |buried |in |the |QRS |
complex. |

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.
Cardiac |output |is |the |product |of |both
