Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has advanced stage prostate cancer. The nurse should expect the provider to prescribe which of the following medications for this client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Leuprolide, a GnRH agonist, is commonly used in advanced prostate cancer to reduce testosterone levels, slowing cancer growth. Tamoxifen is used for breast cancer, cyclophosphamide is a chemotherapy drug not specific to prostate cancer, and finasteride treats benign prostatic hyperplasia, not advanced prostate cancer.
Question 2 of 5
Which patient information is most important for the nurse to monitor when evaluating the effectiveness of deferoxamine (Desferal) for a patient with hemochromatosis?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Serum iron level is the most direct indicator of iron overload and the effectiveness of deferoxamine in chelating and removing excess iron. Skin color, liver function, and hematocrit are relevant but less specific for evaluating deferoxamine's effectiveness.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse in a provider's office is collecting data from a client who has ovarian cancer. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse expect?
