Question 4 of 5
Which of the following is usually involved in Multiple myeloma?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Multiple myeloma is a type of cancer that develops in plasma cells, which are a type of white blood cells involved in the body's immune response. As a result, multiple myeloma primarily affects the hematologic system, which includes the blood and blood-forming tissues. This cancer typically arises in the bone marrow and can lead to an overproduction of abnormal plasma cells, which can crowd out healthy blood cells. Symptoms of multiple myeloma can include anemia, bone pain, recurrent infections, fatigue, and kidney problems, all of which are related to the hematologic system.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse recognizes that a patient is exhibiting symptoms associated with a TIA. After what period of time does the nurse determine these symptoms will subside?
