Answer to Question 1

3
Genetic engineering has been used to develop synthetic insulins, drugs, and vaccines. Gene therapy is the use of genes to treat disease. Pharmacogenomics is the study of how a person's genetic traits affect the body's response to drugs. Oncogenomics is the use of chemotherapy and vaccines to treat and prevent cancer.

Answer to Question 2

4
Fatigue is the most common symptom associated with cancer and cancer treatment. Fatigue is more often a result of the treatment than the cancer itself. The client should be informed that fatigue may persist after cancer therapy is completed, but it will eventually improve.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
