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. Mutation - Oncogenes - Tumor suppressor genes






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

3. 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






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






5. What cell is is? - How agressive?






6. Migration and proliferation of endothelial cells






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






8. Migration and proliferation of endothelial cells






9. Limit Growth






10. -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






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






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






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






14. 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






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






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






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






18. Cells more abnormal - moderately differentiated






19. Polypeptides that influence cell growth






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






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






22. Cure - Control - palliation (pain relive)






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






24. The use of cytotoxic drugs to destroy cancer cells -Multi-agent regimens superior to single drug administration -Can be used pre-op -Mainstay of therapy






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






26. Blood - Lymph - Direct extension






27. 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
