Question 1 of 5
A patient whose cancer has been staged at T4 N2 M2 has been assigned for care. What is the best interpretation of this staging information in planning care for this patient?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because the staging T4 N2 M2 indicates an advanced stage of cancer where the primary tumor is large (T4), multiple lymph nodes are involved (N2), and distant metastases are present (M2). This means the cancer has spread extensively beyond its original site, requiring comprehensive treatment. Gentle touch and therapeutic listening can be beneficial in providing comfort and support for the patient dealing with such advanced disease. Choice A is incorrect because the presence of lymph node involvement and distant metastases indicate a poor prognosis, not necessarily good news. Choice B is incorrect as it suggests the primary tumor has responded well to treatment, which is inconsistent with the staging information provided. Choice D is incorrect as it oversimplifies the situation by focusing only on the primary tumor, disregarding the importance of addressing the metastases for effective care planning.
