When a vesicant extravasation occurs or is suspected, take the following
steps: - correct answer-1. Immediately STOP administering the vesicant
and IV fluids
2. Disconnect the IV tubing from the IV device. Do not remove the IV
device or noncoring port needle
3. Attempt to aspirate residual vesicant from the IV device or port
needling use a small (1-3 mL) syringe
4. Remove the peripheral IV device or port needle
5. Initiate appropriate management measures
,Managing Non-DNA Binding Vesicant Extravasation - correct answer--
Vinca Alkaloids (vincristine, vinblastine)
-Do not bind to DNA in healthy cells when they extravasate into tissue.
Indirect effect on healthy tissue
-Treat with heat, elevation, and hyaluronidase local injection (spreads
the vesicant through the tissue for faster metabolism of the vesicant
agent)
-Usually results in less tissue damage
-Improves over a short period of time (days to weeks(
Management of DNA-Binding Vesicant Extravasation - correct answer---
Anthracyclines (doxorubicin, epirubicin, daunorubicin, idarubicin)
-Binds to DNA in healthy cells when they extravasate into tissue
-When not immediately treated with dexrazoxane, the vesicant remains
in the tissue and invades adjacent healthy tissue
,-Likely to result in more tissue damage
-Left untreated, extravasations become larger and deeper, worsening
over time (weeks to months)
Lesson 11: Targeted Therapy - correct answer-
How targeted therapy and chemo differ - correct answer--targeted
therapies act on specific molecular targets on or within the cells that
are associated with cancer, whereas standard chemo act on all rapidly
dividing cells
-chemo has more SEs
-targeted therapy ae chosen and designed to interact with their target
on or within the cells, whereas chemo were IDed becaused they kill
cells
-targeted therapies are often cytostatic (they block tumor cell
proliferation) whereas chemo agents are cytotoxic (kill tumor cells)
, Goals of targeted therapy - correct answer--disease cure when used as
primary or adjuvant therapy
-improving overall response or increase disease-free survival when used
in combination with conventional therapies
-controlling or stabilizing disease
-maintaining or enhancing quality of life
-decreasing the severity of toxicities from other therapies
Receptor - correct answer--molecule inside or on the surface of a cell
that binds to a specific substance causes a specific effect in that cell
Monomer - correct answer-molecule that can join with other identical
monomers to form a structure called a polymer
