Stop mutation

Mutate

5-10 days; needs to happen so they don’t kill new cells (2 days are needed)

private room; limit time with visitors (30 min a day/6 feet away)

self exam, mammogram, healthy diet, regular exercise

risk for infection, risk for bleeding

programmed cell death

removing entire lesion and removing adjacent normal tissue

on large tumors, wedge used to remove some tissue for analysis, problem increase risk of seeding and damage to healthy tissue

go by “none”-no lotions, wash sites with water gently, do not remove marking, wear soft clothing, avoid head exposure

Monitor WBC (help stimulate neutrophils)

low sodium

answer B

removes all cancer tissue

focuses on improving the quality of life during the survival time not curing

increases function, enhances appearance or both

high dose of radiation to upper chest; metal stent in vena cava

When symptoms are relieved, such as swelling and erythema in upper extremities

When labs, such as K return to normal

consider pain, stabilize affected area

mithracycin, fluids and possibly dialysis

you know it’s working when pulse rate returns to normal but bounding

kills a few immediately but most within 24-48 hours

GFH disease

chemo drug, patient is immunosuppressed

fibrinogen and platelets

platelets are low causing abnormal bleeding

all counts decrease

breast cancer hormonal drug; fights breast cancer, does not cure, blocks estrogen

clotting factors deficiency, bleeds into joints and muscle tissues heading to joint pain; heat makes inflammation worse-use ice

leg/flank pain-look for cancer

high pulse and orthostatic hypotension

Neutrophils, bands

reticulated sites, increased RBC, platelets

neuro changes

most common assessment finding is a large but painless lymph node or nodes

change in LOC, dizziness, visual changes, headaches

Bone marrow shows abnormal chromosomes

increased K

increased BP, headaches, chest pain, angina, SOB, thrombophlebitis, itchy skin

small frequent meals high in protein and carbs; liwuid or semisolid

nervous system affected (leading to falls)

green leafy veg, no effect on nervous system

permanent sterility in male

clotting and structure

M Protein, serum monoclonal protein

too many RBC, other cts are low

don’t take aspirin

teens-young adults, adults 50-60

malignant cells in para protein in blood or urine

no raw food

fatigue

alcohol addiction

macrocytic, dairy and animal proteins

HbS (or F)

age, occupation, previous illness, exposure to radiation

tired, light headedness, weakness, rapid heartbeat, pale, easy bleeding or bruising, stomach upset, diarrhea or constipation

deficiency of circulating RBC because of failure of the bone marrow to produce these cells; usually occurs with leukopenia and thrombocytopenia

normal platelet count

PTT

hydration, pain, infection

reduces the number of sickling and pain episodes

increase in H&H and platelets and RBC

chemo, noncurable, can go dormant

squamous

benz jones

RBC production
