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. To prevent future development in high risk areas






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

13. Major cause is smoking






14. Tumor cell to elicit and immune response






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






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






17. 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






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






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






20. Cancer stays in one place






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






22. -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






23. Mutation - Oncogenes - Tumor suppressor genes






24. Relieve pain - Relieve obstruction






25. Based on spread of disease staging -Tumor Node Metastasis classification system -Stage 0-4






26. Migration and proliferation of endothelial cells






27. 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






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






29. Medication that caused birth defects by cutting off blood supply - now trying to use it to cut off angiogenesis






30. Cure - Control - palliation (pain relive)






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






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






33. Breast cancer - non-hodgkin's lymphoma






34. Starts in blood forming tissue such as bone marrow






35. Mimic body's immune system






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






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






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


39. Proteins and antigens - Monitor for recurrence






40. 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






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






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






43. Secondary effect of an agent -alone may not be able to induce malignancy -some initiators may act as own promoters (cigarette tars) -activities of promoters is reversible






44. Most common form - Linear accelerator generates ionizing radiation






45. To prevent future development in high risk areas






46. Mutation - Oncogenes - Tumor suppressor genes






47. Cells differ slightly from normal cells
