plan to include in patient teaching about cancer screening and decreasing cancer risk (select all
that apply)?
a. Pap testing
b. Tobacco use
c. Sunscreen use
d. Mammography
e. Colorectal screening - answer>>>ANS: A, C, D, E

2. A patient develops neutropenia after receiving chemotherapy. Which information about
ways to prevent infection will the nurse include in the teaching plan (select all that apply)?
a. Cook food thoroughly before eating.
b. Choose low fiber, low residue foods.
c. Avoid public transportation such as buses.
d. Use rectal suppositories if needed for constipation.
e. Talk to the oncologist before having any dental work done. - answer>>>ANS: A, C, E
,Eating only cooked food and avoiding public transportation will decrease infection risk. A high-
fiber diet is recommended for neutropenic patients to decrease constipation. Because bacteria
may enter the circulation during dental work or oral surgery, the patient may need to postpone
dental work or take antibiotics.

1. A patient who is scheduled for a right breast biopsy asks the nurse the difference between a
benign tumor and a malignant tumor. Which answer by the nurse is correct?
a. "Benign tumors do not cause damage to other tissues."
b. "Benign tumors are likely to recur in the same location."
c. "Malignant tumors may spread to other tissues or organs."
d. "Malignant cells reproduce more rapidly than normal cells." - answer>>>ANS: C
The major difference between benign and malignant tumors is that malignant tumors invade
adjacent tissues and spread to distant tissues and benign tumors never metastasize. The other
statements are inaccurate. Both types of tumors may cause damage to adjacent tissues.
Malignant cells do not reproduce more rapidly than normal cells. Benign tumors do not usually
recur.

should monitor for which adverse effect?

3. The nurse is caring for a patient who smokes 2 packs/day. To reduce the patient's risk of lung
cancer, which action by the nurse is best?
a. Teach the patient about the seven warning signs of cancer.
b. Plan to monitor the patient's carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level.
c. Discuss the risks associated with cigarettes during every patient encounter.
d. Teach the patient about the use of annual chest x-rays for lung cancer screening. -
answer>>>ANS: C
Teaching about the risks associated with cigarette smoking is recommended at every patient
encounter because cigarette smoking is associated with multiple health problems. A tumor
must be at least 0.5 cm large before it is detectable by current screening methods and may
already have metastasized by that time. Oncofetal antigens such as CEA may be used to
monitor therapy or detect tumor reoccurrence, but are not helpful in screening for cancer. The
seven warning signs of cancer are actually associated with fairly advanced disease.

4. The nurse should include which food choice when providing dietary teaching for a patient
scheduled to receive external beam radiation for abdominal cancer?
a. Fresh fruit salad
b. Roasted chicken
c. Whole wheat toast
d. Cream of potato soup - answer>>>ANS: B
To minimize the diarrhea that is commonly associated with bowel radiation, the patient should
avoid foods high in roughage, such as fruits and whole grains. Lactose intolerance may develop
secondary to radiation, so dairy products should also be avoided.
