Answer and Explanation

B. Routine screening for colorectal cancer typically begins at age 45 for average-risk individuals, not 40. Colonoscopies are generally recommended every 10 years if results are normal.

C. Mammograms are typically recommended to start at age 40 for average-risk women, with yearly screening starting at age 45 or 50 depending on guidelines.

B. ANC (Absolute Neutrophil Count) can be decreased due to bone marrow suppression from the disease or treatment.
C. Calcium levels are often elevated in multiple myeloma due to bone breakdown and release of calcium from bone.
D. Platelets may be decreased due to bone marrow suppression as well.

A. WBC count B. Platelet count C. Bleeding episodes D. Oral health E. Weight change

Correct Answer is ["A","C","D"]

Explanation

A. In January, WBC count was 5,500/mm3. In February, it decreased to 4,500/mm3. A decrease in WBC count indicates an improvement in the client's condition, suggesting a potential reduction in chemotherapy-related immunosuppression.
B. In January, platelet count was 150,000/mm3. In February, it decreased slightly to 140,000/mm3. The slight decrease in platelet count may not necessarily indicate improvement but is relatively stable.
C. In January, the client reported bleeding episodes from mouth ulcers. In February, the client reports no bleeding episodes. The absence of bleeding episodes indicates improvement in oral mucosal health and potential effectiveness of interventions.
D. In January, the oral mucosa was inflamed. In February, there is noted improvement with less inflammation. Improved oral health with reduced inflammation indicates a positive response to interventions and potentially better oral hygiene practices.
E. The client experienced weight loss of 1.5 kg (3.3 lb) from January to February. Weight loss may indicate ongoing challenges with nutrition despite efforts to increase food intake and manage symptoms.
