The Basics of Bioethics Ethical Issues in Cancer Patient Care Questions
Question 1 of 5
A technique in physical assessment that is used to assess the movement of air through the tracheobronchial tree.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Auscultation involves listening to the sounds produced by the body, such as air movement in the tracheobronchial tree.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following is least effective for the execution of good transitional care for complex patients?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Reviewing a patient 1 month post-discharge is too delayed for effective transitional care, which requires early intervention (e.g., communication, medication knowledge, follow-up consolidation) to prevent complications.
Question 3 of 5
Which statement best describes the effects of immobility in children?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Care of the immobile child includes efforts to prevent complications of muscle atrophy, contractures, skin breakdown, decreased metabolism and bone demineralization. Secondary alterations also occur in the cardiovascular, respiratory and renal systems. Similar effects and alterations occur in adults.

A 67-year-old man who developed a rash with past administration of penicillin is undergoing open reduction of a femur fracture. The surgeon asks if cefazolin can be administered to this patient. Which of the following actions is MOST appropriate for the anesthesiologist to perform?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A rash from penicillin suggests a mild reaction; cross-reactivity with cefazolin (a cephalosporin) is low (<1-2%), making it safe to administer.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following values, in mmHg, is the expected mixed venous O2 tension in a normal adult after breathing 100% O2 for 10 minutes?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Mixed venous O2 tension (PvO2) is normally ~40-45 mmHg; 100% O2 increases arterial O2 but PvO2 rises minimally due to tissue extraction.
