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.

18. Education related to treatment & side effects -Ongoing skin assessment-Management of skin irritations -Assessment for fatigue- most common and disabling side effect -Education about fatigue management -rest periods-mild exercise -Emotional support du






19. What cell is is? - How agressive?






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






21. Cancer stays in one place






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






23. Proteins and antigens - Monitor for recurrence






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






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






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






27. Proteins and antigens - Monitor for recurrence






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






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






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






31. Begin in the cells of the immune system






32. Intravenous -Intraarterial -Intrapeitoneal -Intrathecal:into spinal canal -Intravesical Bladder -Oral






33. Intravenous -Intraarterial -Intrapeitoneal -Intrathecal:into spinal canal -Intravesical Bladder -Oral






34. Different drugs to affect periods of cell cycle






35. Tobacco -1/3 of all new cases of cancer are related to nutrition - physical inactivity and obesity -Radiation (~1 billion new cases of basal and squamous cell skin cancer will be diagnosed this year)






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






37. 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.






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






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






40. 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






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






42. Mutation - Oncogenes - Tumor suppressor genes






43. Starts in blood forming tissue such as bone marrow






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






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






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






47. Burkitt's Lymphoma -Hodgkin's Lymphoma -Testicular cancer






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
