[APUS57]

From genetic testing, a client is found to have the correct number of chromosomes within cells. The nurse would document this finding as being:
 
  1. aneuploidy.
  2. diploid.
  3. euploidy.
  4. haploid.

Question 2

A client's tumor was staged using the TNM system. The tumor was staged as T4,N1,Mx. The nurse realizes that this staging means:
 
  1. tumor in situ, minimal node involvement, no presence of metastasis.
  2. large tumor, no node involvement, presence of metastasis.
  3. medium tumor, multiple nodes involvement, no presence of metastasis.
  4. large tumor, single node involvement, unable to assess metastasis.

Answer to Question 1

3
Euploidy refers to the correct number of chromosomes in a cell. Diploid refers to two complete sets of chromosomes. Haploid refers to having one complete set of chromosomes. Aneuploidy refers to a condition in which the numerical deviation is not an exact multiple of the haploid number and is the most common chromosomal abnormality to affect humans.

Answer to Question 2

4
The larger the number in the TNM staging system, the increasing involvement or larger size of the tumor, node, and metastasis. T4 reflects the size of the tumor. N1 describes the regional node involvement. Mx signals the inability to assess the presence or absence of distant metastasis.
