NURS 5031 Study Guide: Cancer

Immobility

________ leads to bone reabsorption- Ca is taken from the bone to blood steam.

Dead neutrophils

________, digested bacteria, and other cell debris.

Malignant tumors

________ infiltrate major organs or secondary to cancer therapy.

Transfusion

________ should not take more than 4 hours due to increased risk for bacterial growth in the product once it is unrefrigerated.

Imprecision medicine

________: 1 approach for everyone, does not work because variability in response to drug is genetically linked.

Pt pop

________ is at increased risk for blood borne infections due to the frequent blood transfusions required.

Sequential Compression Devices

________ (SCD): Inflates with air to accelerate venous blood return.

Stem cell transplant

________ is the only cure, but must weigh risks /benefits.

Potassium

________: needed for transmission and conduction of nerve and muscle impulses, maintenance of cardiac rhythms (NEUROMUSCULAR AND CARDIAC FUNCTION AFFECTED BY IMBALANCES)

Hyperpolarization à

________ impaired muscle contraction and impaired repolarization: flat T wave, emergence of U wave, peaked P wave, prolonged QRS complex.

Aspirin

________: taken in uncontrollably high doses (usually 12 or more a day)

Shock

What is a result of severe O2 depletion and reduction of fluid volume? Answer with a single words or term.

Malnutrition

________: Provide nutrition education and consult with dietitian if 5 % weight loss noted.

Pharmacogenomics

________: how our entire genome can change our individual response to drugs.

Magnesium

________: activates many enzymes, required for metabolism and synthesis of nucleic acids and proteins, acts on myoneural junction (inhibits Ach, decreased Ca movement into cells), important in normal cardiac function, closely related to Mg and Ca balance- assess all 3 together.

Manifestations

________: similar to hypocalcemia, hyperactive deep tendon reflexes, muscle cramps, tremors, positive Trousseaus and Chvosteks seizures, confusion, vertigo, seizures, cardiac dysrhythmias with wide QRS complexes, corresponding low Ca and K.

Sodium

________: major role in ECF volume and concentration, generation and transmission of nerve impulses, muscle contractility, acid- base balance.

Calcium

________: functions in formation of teeth and bones, blood clotting, transmission of nerve impulses, myocardial concentrations, muscle contractions, parathyroid hormone increases serum ________, calcitonin lowers.

Antigen

________ presenting cells like macrophages pick up this scary spooky spike protein fragment and present it to your T cells so they can figure out an antibody to identify said fragment.

Transfusions

________ required for severe.

Certain antidepressants

Medications that cause tinnitus: ________: may worsen tinnitus.

T

________: Thickening or lump in breast or elsewhere.
