Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, D, E
There are many oncologic emergencies, including neurogenic shock (and other types of shock), perirectal abscess, pleural effusion, and superior vena cava syndrome. Inferior vena cava infarction is not on the list of emergent conditions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, D
Some common side effects of Elspar include seizures, hyperglycemia, nausea/vomiting, rashes, coagulation abnormalities, hepatotoxicity, pancreatitis, and anaphylaxis. Blistering is common with daunorubicin (Daunomycin). Hypokalemia is seen with carboplatin (Paraplatin). Shortness of breath could be seen with bleomycin (Blenoxane), which causes pulmonary fibrosis and pneumonitis.
