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. A permanent change in a DNA nucleotide sequence can be spontaneously or caused by mutagens






2. Relieve pain - Relieve obstruction

14. Assist with decision making (teaching) -Assess psychosocial status & needs -Assess understanding of intervention -Reinforce info. about procedure - complications. - hospital procedures - & follow-up management -Educate regarding post-op self cares






15. Mutation - Oncogenes - Tumor suppressor genes






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






17. 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






18. Used in Prevention - determine the diagnostic and treatment plan (clinical staging) - Cure and or control of cancer - Supportive care - Rehabilitation - Palliation of symptoms - Diagnosis (biopsy)






19. Breast cancer - non-hodgkin's lymphoma






20. The lymphoma has advanced beyond the lymph nodes and spleen and has spread to one or more organs such as bone - bone marrow skin or liver.






21. Cells more abnormal - moderately differentiated






22. Given at the same time b/c different mechanisms of action that lower the amount of drugs given-> decrease toxicity






23. The ER and PR status of the tumor -The measures of proliferative capacity of the tumor -Her2/neu gene amplification.






24. Fibrin mesh work protection from host's immune cells






25. 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






26. Cure - Control - palliation (pain relive)






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






28. Most common cancer in American women -Second leading cause of cancer deaths in America -Bracogene defect






29. Assist with decision making (teaching) -Assess psychosocial status & needs -Assess understanding of intervention -Reinforce info. about procedure - complications. - hospital procedures - & follow-up management -Educate regarding post-op self cares






30. Begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs

36. Starts in blood forming tissue such as bone marrow






37. Limit Growth






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