question 15 (1 point)
listen
tumors that arise from supportive and connective tissue are:
sarcomas.
leukemias.
in situ.
carcinomas.

Explanation:

1. Question 13: Placebos have no active physical/chemical pain-relieving properties, are not effective for severe cancer pain, and pain relief rates vary widely; their effect relies on the client's belief in their efficacy.
2. Question 14: Steroids are potent anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving agents, and a key side effect is suppression of the immune system. NSAIDs do not suppress immunity, muscle relaxants target muscle tension, and epidural steroid injections are a localized delivery, not the drug class itself.
3. Question 15: Sarcomas are cancers that originate in connective and supportive tissues like bone, muscle, cartilage. Leukemias affect blood cells, carcinomas form in epithelial tissue, and "in situ" refers to non-invasive tumor cells.

Answer:

1. Question 13: The client believes the placebo to be effective in pain management.
2. Question 14: Steroids.
3. Question 15: Sarcomas.
