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. 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






2. Post surgery or chemotherapy - Goal to reduce risk of local recurrence






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

15. Begin in the cells of the immune system






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






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






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






19. Preoperative with or without chemotherapy - Goal to shrink tumor before surgery






20. Cure - Control - palliation (pain relive)






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






22. 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






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






24. Begin in the tissues of the brain and spinal cord






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






26. 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.






27. Extent of disease






28. Mutation - Oncogenes - Tumor suppressor genes






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






30. Proteins and antigens - Monitor for recurrence






31. Tumor cell to elicit and immune response






32. Primary Therapy -Neoadjuvant -Adjuvant (with something) -Prophylaxis -Disease Control -Palliation






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






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






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






36. 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






37. Cells more abnormal - moderately differentiated






38. -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
