Neoplasia
Neoplasia ( 5 Questions)
A nurse is caring for a client who has a malignant neoplasm of the lung. The nurse notes that the client has dyspnea, cough, hemoptysis, and weight loss. The nurse recognizes that these findings are indicative of what type of manifestations of cancer?
Local manifestations are signs and symptoms of cancer that result from the growth and expansion of the tumor within its site of origin. Lung cancer can cause local manifestations, such as chest pain, pleural effusion, or atelectasis.
Systemic manifestations are signs and symptoms of cancer that result from the effects of the tumor or its treatment on the whole body. Lung cancer can cause systemic manifestations, such as anorexia, cachexia, fatigue, or fever.
Paraneoplastic manifestations are signs and symptoms of cancer that result from the production of hormones or other substances by the tumor cells that affect normal body functions. Lung cancer can cause paraneoplastic manifestations, such as hypercalcemia, syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH), or Cushing's syndrome.
Metastatic manifestations are signs and symptoms of cancer that result from the spread of the tumor to distant organs or tissues. Lung cancer can metastasize to various sites, such as the brain, bone, liver, or adrenal glands, and cause organ-specific manifestations, such as dyspnea, cough, hemoptysis, and weight loss.
Choice D reason:
Metastatic manifestations are signs and symptoms of cancer that result from the spread of the tumor to distant organs or tissues. Lung cancer can metastasize to various sites, such as the brain, bone, liver, or adrenal glands, and cause organ-specific manifestations, such as dyspnea, cough, hemoptysis, and weight loss.
Choice A reason:
Local manifestations are signs and symptoms of cancer that result from the growth and expansion of the tumor within its site of origin. Lung cancer can cause local manifestations, such as chest pain, pleural effusion, or atelectasis.
Choice B reason:
Systemic manifestations are signs and symptoms of cancer that result from the effects of the tumor or its treatment on the whole body. Lung cancer can cause systemic manifestations, such as anorexia, cachexia, fatigue, or fever.
Choice C reason:
Paraneoplastic manifestations are signs and symptoms of cancer that result from the production of hormones or other substances by the tumor cells that affect normal body functions. Lung cancer can cause paraneoplastic manifestations, such as hypercalcemia, syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH), or Cushing's syndrome.
