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.

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






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






17. Cells are very abnormal - Moderately differentiated






18. 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.






19. Polypeptides that influence cell growth






20. Clinical breast exam -Diagnostic mammography -Ultrasound -Biopsy -MRI -PET (look @ metastatic pattern)=






21. 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






22. Appearance & degree of differentiation - Grading-> GX-G4






23. 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






24. Spread of cancer from an initial site -Includes: angiogenesis - Invasion - Transport - Immunogenicity - arrest - Establishment of a secondary tumor






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






26. Begin in the cells of the immune system






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






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






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






30. Different drugs to affect periods of cell cycle






31. 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






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






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






34. 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)






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






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






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






38. Cancer cells that go to other parts of the body






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






40. Starts in blood forming tissue such as bone marrow






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






42. Depending upon site -skin: dry - itchy - red and irritated - desquamation (skin peeling) -Heart -Bowel & bladder -skin erythema -hyper pigmentation -Itching -Fatigue -Dry or moist desquamation -Edema -Loss of sensation -Pain






43. Strictly regulated -Predetermined to differentiate into specific cell type -Controlled cell death (apoptosis) & proliferation -Contact inhibition -Cell surface adherence-Inability to wander






44. Migration and proliferation of endothelial cells






45. 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






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






47. Tumor cell to elicit and immune response






48. -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






49. Grade 1-4 - grade by cell when we can't tell where its from
