NRS 325 Final Exam | 2025-2026 LATEST UPDATED|140 ACTUAL EXAM
COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS | 100% RATED CORRECT |
100% VERFIED | ALREADY GRADED A+
Risk factors for developing cancer - (answer)age, smoking, infectious agents,
genetic risks, radiation, carcinogens, nutrition, physical activity, access to
resources, socioeconomic status, social determinants of health, insurance
significance of cell differentiation in cancer - (answer)cells differentiate in order to
acquire a specific cell function and become a more specialized type of cell
well differentiated cancer cells look less similar to advanced cells of tissue of
origin, meaning neoplasm is more advanced
undifferentiated cancer cells look more similar to advanced cells of tissue of origin,
neoplasm is less advanced
impact of free radicals on cell regulation and tissue damage - (answer)free radicals
are caused by: ischemia with acidosis, radiation, cellular aging, chronic
inflammation, hyperglycemia
impact of free radicals: damages cell membranes, damages DNA nucleic acids
,primary cancer prevention - (answer)reduction of risk factors in individuals and
populations
secondary cancer prevention - (answer)application of a test to a population that has
no overt signs or symptoms of the disease in question in order to detect disease at a
stage when treatment is more effective
general role of screening in cancer prevention - (answer)to detect the presence of
cancer while the disease is still in a treatable stage
benign tumors - (answer)not cancerous
characteristics of benign tumors - (answer)tends to retain most of the morphologic
and functional characteristics of the normal cells from which they were derived,
not capable of metastasis
,malignant tumors - (answer)canceorus
characteristics of malignant tumors - (answer)cells have abnormal growth patterns,
multiple abnormal functions, and the ability to disseminate to distant sites
TNM classification system - (answer)T-- size of the tumor
N-- has it spread to regional or distant lymph nodes?
M-- has it metastasized?
each category is assigned a number, the combination of this data determines the
stage of cancer
Nursing care of patients undergoing radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or
immunotherapy (including side effects, how nursing care differs) -
(answer)radiation: patient education and management of symptoms
, chemotherapy: assessment and education of patient, handling and administration of
chemotherapeutic agents, management of side effects, management of
psychosocial issues
phospholipid bilayer (what does it do) - (answer)two layers of lipids that create the
cell membrane
interior is hydrophobic and exterior is hydrophilic
hydrophilic - (answer)loves water
hydrophobic - (answer)hates water
process of apoptosis - (answer)programmed cell death, usually in response to
unrepairable replication errors
process of lysis - (answer)rupture of the cell membrane resulting in the release of
cellular contents
