Cancer and Oncology Q 31



On a clinic visit a client who has a relative with cancer, is asking about the warning signs that may relate to cancer. The nurse correctly identifies the warning signs of cancer by responding:
  
    A. “A lump located only in the breast area may suggest the presence of cancer.”
    B. “Sudden weight loss of unexplained etiology can be a warning sign of cancer.”
    C. “Presence of dry cough is one of the warning signs of cancer.”
    D. “If a sore healing took a month or more to heal, cancer should be suspected.”
    
    

Correct Answer: B. “Sudden weight loss of unexplained etiology can be a warning sign of cancer.”

Option B: Unexplained sudden weight loss of 10 pounds or more is a warning signal of cancer. This is common among cancers of the esophagus, stomach, and pancreas.

Option A: The presence of lump is not limited to the breast only; it can grow elsewhere which is why this option is wrong.
Option C: Nagging cough not dry cough and hoarseness of voice is a sign of cancer.
Option D: The sore in cancer does not heal.
