Test your basic knowledge |

Subject : health-sciences
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. The age & menopausal status of patient -The stage of the disease






2. Exposure->mutation - Initiation - Promotion - Progression & metastasis






3. Proteins and antigens - Monitor for recurrence






4. Spread of cancer to other organs. Eg:- in colon ->muscularis-> into ovaries

11. Interluken vaccines-> pumping body full of what you normally produce -When stopping this therapy monitor for normal body functioning and antibiotics to resume could take some time






12. High cost sharing -Caps on benefits -Life time maximums -High health care costs if too sick to work -Waiting periods -Strict restrictions on eligibility -Premiums too expensive to afford. Uninsured and COBRA (makes your insurance go up)






13. A group of more than 200 diseases characterized by the uncontrolled and unregulated growth of cells -caused by both external and internal factors -second leading cause of death in U.S.






14. The disease involves lymph nodes both above & below the diaphragm.






15. Stage 1: Early disease - Stage 2: Locally advanced disease - Stage 3: Advanced disease - Stage 4: widespread disease


16. The age & menopausal status of patient -The stage of the disease






17. Distinguishing the mutant cell (appearance & differentiation) aka histology






18. Lung - Lyrnyx - Esophagus - pancreas - mouth - stomach - leukemia - bladder - kidney - cervix






19. Stage 1: Early disease - Stage 2: Locally advanced disease - Stage 3: Advanced disease - Stage 4: widespread disease


20. Cells are very abnormal - Moderately differentiated






21. 1st to occur because heart and brain are very important organs






22. Cells are immature and primitive - Origin of cells difficult to determine






23. Begin in the cells of the immune system






24. -Defect in differentiation-Secrete enzyme to dissolve binding protein fibronectin- no cell surface adherence -Loss of ability to stop dividing- uncontrolled proliferation-Doubling time (exponential growth)-Loss of cell borders -ability to form new bl






25. Relieve pain - Relieve obstruction






26. Brachytherapy -Sources are placed directly into tumor or in close proximity (e.g. lung - cervical - prostate)






27. Inappropriately active versions of proto-oncogens (normal genes before mutation) code for proteins that induce malignant growth by turning on cell division (growth factors)






28. Blood - Lymph - Direct extension






29. Most common form - Linear accelerator generates ionizing radiation






30. The cancer is found in two or more lymph node regions on one side of the diaphram






31. Nausea & Vomiting -Bone marrow suppression -Alopecia: Hair loss -Weight gain or loss -Anorexia -Fatigue -Decline in functional status -Mucositis-'chemo' brain: foggyness that happens post chemo






32. Breast cancer - non-hodgkin's lymphoma






33. Lung - Lyrnyx - Esophagus - pancreas - mouth - stomach - leukemia - bladder - kidney - cervix






34. Malignant transformation causing mutation of DNA Can be caused by: -Inherited mutation during DNA replication -Exposure to chemical - radiation - or virus (Carcinogens) -Cancer related genes






35. The cancer is found only in a single lymph node region or one organ or area outside the lymph node






36. Extent of disease






37. Immediate post-Op assessments and cares (per hospital policy) -Pain management -Monitor for complications (e.g. infection) -Reinforce post-op self-cares (tubes - site - etc)-Assess psychosocial response -Assess for body image fears






38. ~1 -368 -030 new cancer cases are expected to be diagnosed this year~ 563 -650 Americans are expected to die of cancer this year ~ 9.6 million Americans with a history of cancer are alive today






39. Limit Growth






40. Advanced age -Benign proliferate disease -Reproductive risk factors -Environmental (radiation & pestisides) -Hormonal factors (oral contraceptives)-Energy expenditure (weight gain - lack of physical activity)-Dietary risk factor: high fat intake & a






41. Routine mammography-Digital mammography -Clinical breast examination -Breast self examination






42. Begins in bone - cartilage - fat - muscle - blood vessels - or other connective or supportive tissue






43. Code for proteins to turn off cell growth - loss of function - Recessive






44. Surgery - Radiation - Chemotherapy - Biotherapy - Hormonal therapy
