Question 3 of 5
A client with cancer is being evaluated for possible metastasis. Which of the following is one of the most common metastasis site for cancer cells?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The liver is one of the most common sites for metastasis of cancer cells. This is because the liver receives a high volume of blood flow, making it a common site for cancer cells to spread through the bloodstream. Additionally, the liver's function in filtering toxins and foreign substances from the blood makes it a favorable environment for cancer cells to establish secondary tumors. Monitoring the liver for metastasis is crucial in cancer diagnosis and management.
Question 4 of 5
A client receiving external radiation to the left thorax to treat lung cancer has a nursing diagnosis of Risk for impaired skin integrity. Which intervention should be part of this client's plan of care?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct intervention that should be part of the plan of care for a client at risk for impaired skin integrity due to external radiation is avoiding using a soap on the irradiated areas. Soap can be drying to the skin and may exacerbate skin reactions caused by radiation therapy. It is important to keep the skin in the radiation field clean, but avoiding soap will help prevent further irritation and damage to the skin. Instead, a gentle cleanser recommended by the healthcare provider should be used to clean the irradiated areas. Additionally, maintaining good hydration and moisturizing the skin as recommended by the healthcare team can also help minimize skin reactions.
