Answer to Question 1

B
Bevacizumab (Avastin) is an antiangiogenesis medication that reduces blood flow to the growing tumor cells, depriving them of nutrients needed for replication.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, D
Restoring former level of function is not a goal of rehabilitation because this may be an impossi-ble goal. New coping and adaptive skills, and self-care skills that improve the quality of life are all goals of rehabilitation.
