Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Nursing interventions for a patient receiving busulfan (Myleran) include monitoring white blood cell counts, monitoring blood urea nitrogen level, maintaining adequate fluid intake, assessing for infection, and assessing lungs for coarse rales. Administering an anti-emetic prior to chemotherapy, assessing oral mucous membranes, and checking stool for occult blood are not indicated for busulfan (Myleran).

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

An incisional biopsy is the removal of part of a larger tumor by cutting through the skin. A fine-needle biopsy uses a very thin needle to aspirate a small amount of tissue from the tumors. A needle core biopsy uses a slightly larger needle than that used for a fine-needle biopsy to extract a small amount of tissue from tumors that cannot be aspirated by fine-needle aspiration. An excisional biopsy is the removal of an entire tumor through surgery.
