The nurse is teaching a client who has pernicious anemia about necessary dietary
changes. Which statement by the client indicates
understanding about those changes?
a. "I'll increase animal proteins like fish and meat."
b. "I'll work on increasing my fats and carbohydrates."
c. "I'll avoid eating green leafy vegetables.
d. "I'll limit my intake of citrus fruits." - (ANSWER)ANS: A Clients who have
pernicious anemia have a Vitamin B12 deficiency and need to consume foods high
in Vitamin B12, such as animal and plant proteins, citrus fruits, green leafy
vegetables, and dairy products. While carbohydrates and fats can provide sources
of energy, they do not supply the necessary nutrient to improve anemia
A nurse is caring for a client who is about to receive a bone marrow transplant. To
best help the client cope with the long recovery
period, what action by the nurse is best?
a. Arrange a visitation schedule among friends and family.
b. Explain that this process is difficult but must be endured.
c. Help the client find things to hope for each day of recovery.
d. Provide plenty of diversionary activities for this time - (ANSWER)ANS: C
Providing hope is an essential nursing function during treatment for any disease
process, but especially during the recovery period after bone marrow
,transplantation, which can take up to 3 weeks. The nurse can help the client look
ahead to the recovery period and identify things to hope for during this time.
Visitors are important to clients, but may pose an infection risk. Telling the client
that the recovery period must be endured does not acknowledge his or her
feelings. Diversionary activities are important, but not as important as instilling
hope
A client has received a bone marrow transplant and is waiting for engraftment.
What action(s) by the nurse are most appropriate?
(Select all that apply.)
a. Not allowing any visitors until engraftment
b. Limiting the protein in the client's diet
c. Placing the client in protective precautions
d. Teaching visitors appropriate hand hygiene
e. Telling visitors not to bring live flowers or plants - (ANSWER)ANS: C, D, E The
client waiting for engraftment after bone marrow transplant has no white cells to
protect him or her against infection. The client is on protective precautions and
visitors are taught hand hygiene. No fresh flowers or plants are allowed due to
the standing water in the vase or container that may harbor organisms; clients are
also told not to work with houseplants in the home. Limiting protein is not a
healthy option and will not promote engraftment.
. The nurse learning about cellular regulation understands that which process
occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle?
a. Actual division (mitosis)
b. Doubling of DNA
,c. Growing extra membrane
d. No reproductive activity - (ANSWER)ANS: B During the S phase, the cell must
double its DNA content through DNA synthesis. Actual division, or mitosis, occurs
during the M phase. Growing extra membrane occurs in the G1 phase. During the
G0 phase, the cell is working but is not involved in any reproductive activity
A nurse is learning the difference between normal cells and benign tumor cells.
What information does this include?
a. Benign tumors grow through invasion of other tissue.
b. Benign tumors have lost their cellular regulation from contact inhibition.
c. Growing in the wrong place or time is typical of benign tumors.
d. The loss of characteristics of the parent cells is called anaplasia. -
(ANSWER)ANS: C Benign tumors are basically normal cells growing in the wrong
place or at the wrong time. Benign cells grow through hyperplasia, not invasion.
Benign tumor cells retain contact inhibition. Anaplasia is a characteristic of cancer
cells.
A nurse learns that which of the following is the single biggest risk factor for
developing cancer?
a. Exposure to tobacco
b. Advancing age
c. Occupational chemicals
d. Oncovirus infection - (ANSWER)ANS: B The single biggest risk factor for
developing cancer is advancing age. As one ages, immunity decreases and
exposures increase. Tobacco use is the single most preventable cause of cancer.
Exposure to chemicals and oncoviruses cause fewer cancers
, Which statement about carcinogenesis is accurate?
a. An initiated cell will always become clinical cancer.
b. Cancer becomes a health problem once it is 1 cm in size.
c. Normal hormones and proteins do not promote cancer growth.
d. Tumor cells need to develop their own blood supply - (ANSWER)ANS: D Tumors
need to develop their own blood supply through a process called angiogenesis. An
initiated cell needs a promoter to continue its malignant path. Normal hormones
and proteins in the body can act as promoters. A 1-cm tumor is a detectable size,
but other events have to occur for it to become a health problem
The nurse caring for oncology clients knows that which form of metastasis is the
most common?
a. Bloodborne
b. Direct invasion
c. Lymphatic spread
d. Via bone marrow - (ANSWER)ANS: A Bloodborne metastasis is the most
common way for cancer to metastasize. Direct invasion and lymphatic spread are
other methods. Bone marrow is not a medium in which cancer spreads, although
cancer can occur in the bone marrow.
A nurse has taught a client about dietary changes that can reduce the chances of
developing cancer. What statement by the client
indicates the nurse needs to provide additional teaching?
a. "Foods high in vitamin A and vitamin C are important."
