Question

cancers are graded by determining their degree of:
anaplasia.
cytology.
blasticity.
differentiation.
question 21 (1 point)
the term
eoplasm\ is used interchangeably with:
carcinogen.
encapsulation.
tumor.
sarcoma.
question 22 (1 point)
pain is:
not a common complaint of persons seeking medical attention.
a warning that something is wrong in normal body function.
is felt more by males than females.
is better understood by the provider than the client.

Explanation:

1. Cancer grading assesses how abnormal cancer cells look under a microscope, which is based on their degree of differentiation (how closely they resemble normal cells). Anaplasia is a severe lack of differentiation, but grading is based on the overall differentiation level; cytology is the study of cells, and blasticity is not the standard term for cancer grading.
2. A neoplasm is an abnormal growth of tissue, which is synonymous with a tumor. Carcinogens are cancer-causing agents, encapsulation refers to a surrounding structure, and sarcoma is a specific type of neoplasm/tumor.
3. Pain is a primary warning sign that indicates disruption to normal bodily function. It is one of the most common reasons people seek medical care, there is no consistent evidence that males feel more pain than females, and the client is the sole authority on their own pain experience.

Answer:

1. Differentiation.
2. Tumor.
3. A warning that something is wrong in normal body function.
