Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Rituxan prevents the initiation of cancer cell division. The other statements are not accurate.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Interleukins can cause capillary leak syndrome and fluid shifting, leading to intravascular volume depletion. Although all assessments are important in caring for clients with cancer, blood pressure and other assessments of fluid status take priority.
